What is the difference btw Santorini and Enzian, Photos needed

Hi,

Down to 3 choices, Blue or TR.

Looking to make the order soon, any recommendations on the dealers in the west coast that might have allocations?

Santorini and enzian look very similar in photos, depending on the lighting. I pick up my enzian in a couple days and a local member has a santorini. I’m looking forward to getting pics of the 2 of them together - I haven’t seen pictures of both together yet.

Thanks! After having the car for a week now, I’ve gotta say that the color in pictures doesn’t really capture how vivid and deep it looks in person. It’s also a very dynamic color that changes a lot depending on lighting. At night it looks almost like a slightly darker LSB, in direct sun it’s a bit brighter almost like voodoo.

I totally agree on how pics don't capture it. It's such a rich color in person!

Here’s a couple I snapped in my garage and the colour on my phone screen actually matched what my eyes were seeing. There are other times, though, that the colour looks just like what snareman posted.

I think the colour might just be my favourite part about this car!
