The colour is a matter of taste. 
If it's the non-metallic "monacoblau", I never liked it.
This blue-grey was not nice, but very common in the early 80ies, as it hasn't cost extra charge.
My father had a monacoblau car, too, a 1981 Passat LS. I remember, when he had bought it in 1986, the first, I've said was: "Can't you bring it back? The colour is disgusting. And it's the shabby LS-trim-line. Why not a GLS 5cyl?"
He kept the car for 10 years - and I made, after I got my license in November 1988, my first own driving experiences with it. My first trip alone for some days was into the DDR. There all the people have looked to the famous, luxoury Western car.
And they've envyed me, that I could drive on the Autobahn-border-control-point straight ahead and haven't not to take the last exit before...
@DonSergioMorello: one little off-topic question, please, I got last Saturday, while a barbecue-party at my parents-in-law. My father-in-law has said, that it ws a Yugoslavian speciality to mix red wine with Fanta (for the Americans here: it's the orange lemonade, made by the Coca-Cola Company) and ice cubes. It was common in YU, when he had been there in the 80ies on vacations and it was one of the cheapest drinks, you could get there.
