Although I can say with certainty both of those are the same color, Sakhir Orange.

Love the M6 in Sakhir, but have to admit the Alpine White with Sakhir interior is looking mighty sexy. One of each, then?!

I doubt the lightning-conditions could make such a huge difference.

All the photoshopping these days... I don't get it, even the pics in the brochures at the dealers are sometimes photoshopped to the extent that they do not correctly represent the actual color!
That's correct. They are both Sakhir Orange. I will say that the color seen in our photos (ones in the parking lot) are the more accurate ones in terms of actual real life look of Sakhir Orange.

The last set are press photos from BMW and have been processed and bumped up a bit too much, making the color appear too red.
