Interesting how there are different codes for Laguna Seca Blue depending on the year and model of the vehicle.

Looks like they switched to a different paint codes in 2018. I wonder if the issues they were having with individual LSB paint orders sparked the changed.

The years are not exactly accurate. Techno Violet first appeared on E34 in June 1994 and was used on E36 until mid-1999.

Oh yes, that story of the unlucky E92 M3 owner taking delivery at Welt back in 2013 (European Delivery) - what a difference 1 letter makes:

"At 10:40 I find myself back in the lounge, watching all the happy people accept their new vehicles. At this point, I notice a US-spec M3 (judging by the reflectors in the bumper) and think "Wow, someone has an Atlantic blue M3 on the same day as my Atlantis Blue". Oh no no no no no..... it hits me. THAT IS MY CAR!
I RUN to my laptop and check all my paperwork/emails. YES, they all say Atlantis Blue. Before I had narrowed it down to the final color choice, it even mentioned the paint code in earlier emails."

That's the color but blue is not the official color name. "Atlantis Metallic"
