I would say that this new coaster is more of "Quicksilver" blue, a shade of bright blue that Quicksilver likes to use in a lot of their shirts. A medium bright blue that is closer to the green side of the spectrum. Montu on the other hand is a dark blue with a hint of violet and very close to the violet side of the spectrum. For all you old enough to remember way back to 1999, Montu's track color is the same, if not exactly the same color as the Grape iMac. Which was surprisely no where near a "grape" color at all. So like a year later it was replaced by one that was actually violet in color.
