This slightly different angle from http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13147585/ shows the color of the breastplate better and a slightly better view of the head. The paint on the breast/back plates & the helmet shifts color depending on the light, between blue and purple. there's also a metal flake that shows up at the right angle, such as in this photo. The paint is BMW Interlagos Blue.
