Orient Blue is out for 2006 in the US
Monaco blue seems to have less metallic flake and is not a brilliant as orient blue.
focusing in on ti-gray. It has some greenish hues in it.
Has anyone gotten this color and subsuquently regretted it?

My Ride: On order: 2007 550i, silver gray, black leather, anth. maple trim, active cruise, heated steering wheel, sport, night vision, vent seats, heat rears, active steering, rear air bags, folding seats, comfort access, navigation , HUD, black head liner, steptronic, premium sound, sirius and HD radio.
I have it and love it. It is a dark color but it does not show water spots and dirt nearly as bad as dark blue or black. I had an 04' e60 in Black Saphire and had to wash and dry it every week. A real pain.

My '04 had this color and I liked it very much.
But on the other hand, there is not a more practical color than Titanium Silver.
It shows no dust nor dirt.

I found Ti-Grey tooooo popular. Red is unique 
Actually, my choice would be either Ti-Grey, Mystic Blue, Olivin Green, Black Sapphire (not practical) or Alpin White. Orient Blue is a little purple-ish.
