I think the 918 lines require a dark colour.

Dark colors work well, so does white. Silver works of course, its a Porsche..
This light blue color just doesn't work for me either. I also haven't been a fan of the 918 in yellow.

Compared with the baby blue colour on the GT3, on the 918 looks bad.

Of course that's my personal opinion.

For some reason, it's not as striking on the 918 as it did on the 997 GT3. I apologize in advance if this car belongs to someone on the board.

I agree with the darker color. Usually I love this color (mexico or riviera blue) on almost everything Porsche, but it just doesn't do it for me on the 918. I don't love the orange one either.

This would look way better with the mag wheels.

CF tops spoiler and mirrors with black calipers - change all the acid green scripts to black.

That's a lot of blue - saw a Tiffany Blue Scuderia with white wheels actually looked good.

not a fan. non of the PTS colors made infamous by the 997 GT3really works for the 918, imo.

Agree - the car is too aggressive and modern for those PTS.

The liquid colors are the way to go - hopefully a bundle of them are ordered for us 2nd hand bottom fish.

Haven't seen the blue - monopoly money would prefer this look. As far as the price we use liquid pearl paints often during tenant finish work and it takes 6 coats vs 2 at 15 times greater cost per gallon.

No idea why Porsche went off the deep end - 32k would have been plenty offensive.

911 yes, 918 no.

This color is NOT what most observers acquainted with traditional & vintage Porsche colors would call 'Baby Blue'. It's a deeper, medium blue that, as Mile2424 has said, could very well be either 'Riviera Blau' or 'Mexico Blau'. Camera lenses, filters & lighting are notorious for distorting colors on photos...but I am going to guess that this PTS 918 is 'Mexico Blau' and we will await confirmation from the owner or some other official source.

Traditionally, a 'Baby Blue' hue would be associated in a Porsche with 'Gulf Blue' (a vintage color currently available on the 991/981 as PTS) or 'Meissen Blue' (Available in the past as PTS on the 997...and a standard on the 1957-1959 Porsche 356).
