I'll admit that both Estoril shades are good-looking, but then I've always liked just about any blue. I have a 2001 in Topaz blue, which is very reminiscent of my old '67 Dodge Monaco 500, which had a similar shade of metallic blue). I also had a '66 VW Type 3 fastback in VW Blue, also a similar shade, and a '73 VW SuperBeetle in Marina blue (a baby blue tint, sorta matching my eyes), which caught my eye and I bought straight off the showroom floor. Also "baby blue" was the color of my '75 Chevy C-10, in Skyline ? blue.
Here's a photo/chart I found on Pinterest, which shows BMW blues (and carbon black, for comparison, I guess):
