I was looking for some GS430s and saw that one when I was searching too.

That color is pretty rare, at least in these parts. Plus I dont see anyone on here with it

It is not a common color. I call it the Gonzo color because no one specifically identify the color.

I've seen a few here.

another example of this color, with better pics:

There were a few in Ohio that were the same color that sold last month.

Personally, I like my rare blue onyx pearl But then again, my opinion is obviously biased

It's Mystic Sea Opalescent.


A local member in my region "ThaPhenom" has that color.


Looks pretty good in person.


Camera photos don't do it justice.
