Touch up pain Color - Mediterranean Blue

I am searching for a small touch up paint pen for my 2018 M550 (Mediterranean Blue) - everything I've come across online lists it as C10 but the color it displays is some weird greenish color. ANyone have any experience getting touch up pain for this color? Is it actually C10 even though the pictures on the products show a different color?

Here is an example: https://www.amazon.com/PAINTSCRATCH-...+blue+touch+up

The colour code should be on the base of the b pillar , worth a check to make sure you have the right colour. Should be able to order from bmw directly who should obviously have the right one.

The easiest way is to just call the parts department and give them the last 7 digits of your VIN. They can give you the correct paint code.

Make sure you get the right code (and year) then source a genuine BMW touch up kit. They come in twin pen containers like this:

e.g.:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genui...-/172134951052

You get one with the paint, the other is a clear coat. Take it slow and steady, let it dry then buff/polish back. Works well on small stone chips etc.

They sent me an imperial blue like dark navy labeled as C10 Mediterranean blue. I guess color matching these metallic paint is tough. Now my pits look like moles.
