Wanted to see if anyone knows this car. Any thoughts? Is that Iris Blue?

I love the color. I do not believe that is Iris blue.

Could be midnight blue too. It's not very common ocean or iris blue in combo with a black interior. Typically they are grey or cashmere.

I'd ask why the brake calipers look to be in such bad condition. Was it tracked a lot?

it DOES look like Iris Blau to me.

Here is my former IB C4S

Looks much better with a grey interior IMO.

Do the VIN or option codes indicate the color? Also, is it strange that the wheel caps don't say "Turbo"?

Ocean Blue Metallic was the factory metallic blue color in 1997. To get Midnight Blue in 1997 it was a PTS option.

Based on that odds are it is Ocean Blue Metallic.
