How come some island blue's look darker than others? I would prefer it to be a bit darker, something like this.

All down to light available, the weather, condition of the paintwork itself, variations in photographic image and rendering etc, a lot of colours are like that!

 

The pic you've just posted - the blue on that Mini looks close to Zircon Blue as on my Rover P5B Coupe...

the shade of the colour can also be different depending on the colour of the primer used beneath it, white primer will make it a lighter shade than a yellow or grey primer

I would replace it to be safe.

That is because it is Teal Blue
