Question Any "Cobalt Blue" 928 owners?

A little personnal survey on sunday morning!
Does anyone own or know somebody who does own any Cobalt Blue 928? Beside mine (1991 S4), I have only saw another one (1991 GT). It looks like it is a very rare color for a 928. And if you know one, what is the interior color? Mine is Blue on Blue.
Thank You.

Bertrand .

Out of curiosity did the color name change? I know Porsche has kept many of their colors for years but they tend to change the names to keep up with current trends. Or maybe I'm wrong and they are actually making subtle changes to the color?

Mine is Marine Blue with a Champagne and Blue interior btw.....

I thought mine was Cobalt until yesterday, until a real Cobalt Blue was shown to me. Mine ended up being Marine Blue but I like it all the same.

I remember seeing, on tv, a cobalt GTS being sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction last winter. A great color, for sure.

I remember seeing a couple cobalt blue with classic grey interior GTS's on the registry.....a very sharp color combo IMHO......

Now a rare color is this one...tahoe blue metallic....only one in the USA?

You are right Brian. The Iris blue looks very similar to mine (especially the first one). Interesting.
Thank You.

Too rare rare color everywhere even though it's little more common in ROW. This should be cobolt blue with manual gearbox and linen sport seats I think.





Automatic with regular classic grey seats.

Boy, all of those blues are pretty.

I really like that interior shot of the classic grey with that shifter. Just a touch of color. I have heard Nicole often mention that too much color is overwhelming, this interior looks perfect to me.
