I like the uber rare colors, therefore my vote is for periwinkle, then Tahoe.

I think there's a time vale of money lessen for one or both of us in there.

Remember though, it is not my GTS. It's Jane's. When I have made noises about selling it, I get a look from her that makes my ********* hurt.

EDIT - Randy's may be Iris.
Hi Ed,
Randy's signature says Midnight Blue Metal.

Default RHD 1990 S4 Tahoe colour for sale in the U.K.

After a bit of searching (yes: Tahoe colour is indeed very rare on a 928) I found this (no affiliation, as always):

Oh goody- a competition. I like competitions- cos' I keep winning them!

So, difficult choice here- is it Pamela [Cobalt Blue] Anderson or Madeline [Iris Blue] Albright?

Sad to say it just has to be the former- as you can see no contest really!

Regards

Fred

Fred's 93 GTS Cobalt (top pic below) & the S4 that Bertrand posted up (bottom pic below) look like 2 different colors T

Cobalt is one of the toughest colors to capture and looks much different in real life than most of these pictures. Depending on who mixed the paint I have seen cobalt Porsche's from the 90's color shift like my turbo. They will take on colors anywhere from a deep dark blue to purple and sometimes mine when the sun is low in the sky it will turn almost bright pink. Then again I have seen other cobalt cars barely color shift at all. Porsche's control over the amount of mica mixed into the color stage seems to have not been regulated and therefore different cobalt cars can take on different looks.Then again monitors and other things like playing with the contrast will change the color dramatically.

I know it is not a928 but cobalt should look like this when it is not color shifting.

Yes, the sunlight can make a huge difference on how it looks.
Like Anthony said, it can go from a dark blue to purple.
Different camera and camera setting can make a difference too.
