2005 MCS Special edition color?

I am fairly new to the mini cooper seen and is in the market for a 2005-2006 MCS. I came across a color that I have not seen before and was wondering if you experts out there are familiar with this color. The seller said it is call "Super Charger Blue". I can't seem to find it in any of the color options for that year (2005). I just want to make sure that the car is wearing the born with color instead of a repaint. Thanks for any feedbacks. I am including the picture of the car for reference. Is the seller calling the color correct?

The Color is called electric blue, and while it is not one of the more common colors it is also not a "Special edition" color. Cool color either way.

'05 was the last year for Electric Blue Metallic. Very sweet color. My '02 MCS was that color.

If you lift the hood you can find the color tag just above the blue windshield washer filler on the passenger side wheel well.
