22 Bluestone Metallic? Need help determining color

I'm having somewhat of a difficult time finding a used 21-23 M850i GC to purchase. Currently I'm looking at a Bluestone metallic exterior, but am really having a hard time figuring out exactly what this color looks like. Any help would be appreciated. Is it blue, is it grey or is it silver?
Because of my location, I can't find a used M850i near me and would purchase remote and have it shipped. In looking at pictures and videos the car looks different colors in almost everything you look at. I love a light silver or even grey, but I'm definitely not a fan of blue.
Please let me know your thoughts if you've seen this color in person.
Thank you for the help.

Bluestone is one of those colours that you really need to see in the metal as it can be displayed inaccurately either in paper or on screen depending upon how the photo was exposed and how the monitor is set up

I had a 5 series in bluestone and I would describe it as a mid grey with some light blue

It can appear more grey on a cloudy day

You will probably most likely see the colour on a 5 series if you want to see one

The bmw brochures make the colour look misleading

Bluestone is a great color. I think it's a lighter version of Space Grey with more blue in it. We had a M550 for three years. Although it was parked outside it always appeared clean since it was so great at hiding the dust and road dirt. Our latest M550 in Tanzanite shows all the dust after 24 hours. Here's our Bluestone from two sides in Swaigen, DE during our European delivery trip.

Agree on hiding the dirt . Masks it surprisingly well
Very nice in the sun
