Reminds me of a non MB colour .

It was called blueish blackish pearl , it was a metallic black that in direct sunlight had flakes of blue .

Because the first part of the description of the colour was blue it got registered as blue

Well, you won't have to ask yourself if you need PPF or not. When the front end gets chipped you have great justification to just re-paint it. I can find the bright to side to just about anything!
