Default Riviera Blue rendering
Anyone have Photos/photoshop of Riviera blue? Having a tough time visualizing the color on the car. Would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks

This will give you a pretty good idea of what it looks like:

My personal experience is that when you look for Mexico, Gulf, or Riviera Blue(s) online, there's a lot of confusion over these 3 shades and you need to verify that it's really that color. Top pic above looks like RB. Bottom pic looks like MB. My 2 cents...

Here is an actual side-by-side of the two PTS colors as done in recent years by PAG. Larry Cable's 'Mexico Blue' .2 997 gt3 vs Rolling Art's 'Riviera Blue' .1 997 w. aero kit!

'Gulf Blue' (last photo on original paint '73 S) is quite a bit paler than either of these other two 'bright' blues!

Saludos,
Eduardo

Anyone good with photoshop? would love to see 991 gt3 in riviera to get a better idea. Some colors look great on some cars and some don't.

trust me you actually have to have RB & MB side by side in direct sunlight to tell which is which...

+1 although if that 2nd car is the UK press car it was RB ... but I agree it looks like MB... which is of course much nicer!

A dealer in Atlanta has a fully optioned Mexico Blue PTS coming in March. Asking msrp plus 20k bc they claim they had to pay Porsche over msrp to get that extra allocation. PM me if u want the info.

SWEET! - I was excited up to the point that I read the dealer markup.

I dont think PCNA "sell" allocations like that ... dealer BS IMO
