Wow. What a color! But it is Mexico Blue or Riviera. (Gulf Blue is a lot lighter).

Yeah, that blue, whatever color it is, is not only stunning but quite overpowering, in that it actually appears to luminesce and drown out any other color competing for attention. Maybe it's just the photo, but notice how it clashes with the red of the taillights.

Talk about stunning, here's a paint-to-sample color I'd like to see on a 997. Anybody else here ever see this wild orange on a Lambo in person? It is absolutely, positively stunning with a deep pearl-like luminescence embedded in this radiant orange.

I saw a nonmetallic version of this orange on a 930 back at a Parade many years ago. Orange is a terrific color on a Porsche. (not everyone can STAND that much attention).

This Lambo paint looks pearlescent. Nice!

That's the color I was going to get if I were buying the coupe.
