whats up with the Cape Green color?

In some video’s I have seen (mostly on the XM) the Cape Green color either looks full and lifeless or it looks bright almost turquoise and has a beautiful pop to it completely contradicting other videos I have seen of Cape Green

Plenty of colours like that across BMWs lineup, not to mention other brands.

My E90 M3 in Jerez Black looked basically blue in bright sunlight.

Just delivered a new X1 in Cape York Green, if that's the color you're asking about.

If I didn't know, I'd never have called it "green". In the showroom and outside, it looks more like a slightly more sophisticated Brooklyn Grey but in between that and Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic and Skyscraper. It looked great on the new X1.
