I personally think BMW should change Valencia Orange to Camelion Orange since the color assumes changes under all lighting conditions ultimately hiding it's true color.

IMO some of the changes in color do not look good. I personally don't like the dull Orange, and dull Copper look that is present in low lighting conditions. Yet the Yellow/Orange is almost too bright in direct sun as seen in the video on the highway in Jersey.

For me the decision of color for my 1M continues. (sucks) I haven't had this much trouble choosing color for any car I have owned ever.

It would be nice to see a color wheel next to the Orange paint so we could compare known colors like red, blue, green and Orange etc. Maybe then we could gauge the true color of the photos we are seeing and just how Orange this color is.

When I look at skin tones and say red in surrounding objects in the photos most look correct to me on my laptop, yet the VO is all over the place.
