I think the blues are really sensitive to light, seems crazy how blue and bright the miami is under LED. but how green in sunlight. I have GR on my .2 and think it has an orange tint in LED or halogen lighting.

I love how MB shifts colors depending upon lightning. It’s a great color that is unfairly criticized by people who want to feel special about their second hand purchased PTS blue cars.

Yeah, I know I’m biased, but I prefer Miami over Mexico or Riviera. It’s more vivid and saturated looking to me. For sure, it is greener too, but I don’t see why that’s bad. I much prefer blues that lean toward turquoise rather than purple/lavender.
The most common criticism of Miami seems to be that it is different from Mexico or Riviera. I guess on that point my thought is: so what?

Those MB shots above look edited. Are they?

Of course.
How can you get a decent photo out of a camera without some post-processing? At the very least, you need to correct for white balance. Untouched, it would have looked like a different car in each picture.
Ultimately, it’s what you see in real life and how well that comes through in the image that determines fidelity, not the amount of manual editing or processing. Keep in mind, there is no such thing as an unprocessed photo—even camera RAW files are processed by software to generate an image.
At the end, you always need to rely on human eyes and judgement.

I'm going on what you said about MB under "harsh LED light". Didn't look representative of the real thing. The blue in the photos look off due to the processing and perhaps whatever you used to take the photos.
You can get decent photos without post processing.
RAW is just recording data your sensor captures. Some limitations being quality of your lens and sensor.

I tried to get the color of MB with my iPhoneX and then tried a full frame Nikon. Nothing could replicate it. Frustrating when you are snapping photos. You need to tune the tint in photoshop or it’s never the real deal. That’s part of the allure of the color itself.
