never saw it outdoors and the showroom lighting distorts the color

I have money down on a PTS Mexico Blue Cayman GTS...damn that voodoo looks hot. Very hard to visualize many of these blues - really have to see them in person, which is difficult.

I felt the Riviera was a bit too light, Voodoo appears to be a bit to purple for me - Mexico splits the difference nicely.

I saw a Mexico Blue GT3 in person and it was stunning. Sales guy has seen Mexico and Riviera right next to each other and could not tell a difference, neither could others - but side by side paint samples show Mexico a bit darker.
Camera lighting really messes with the colors - the Voodoo here looks very similar to Riviera/Mexico in some pics.
Attaching some Mexico Samples









And a Riviera Cayman GTS

Voodoo is definitely a little darker than Mexico and for sure darker than riviera blue. Voodoo blue is a Toyota color that was used on their FJ models that are no longer made. Do some google searches on blue Toyota FJ's and you will see some outdoor sun pics of this color. It is my favorite blue because it's not metallic and more of a true blue.

Don't be confused...we will walk you through the 'Moody Blues'!

'Voodoo' is quite a bit darker than 'Mexico'...and 'brighter' as a hue!

**********************************

Voodoo gt3 on a sunny day!



Voodoo gt3 in cloudy day!



Riviera is much lighter!





Mexico (.2 997 gt3) is slightly darker than Riviera (.1 997)!



****************************

The best 'Blue' in Porsche history is none of the above. It's 'Crystal Blue'!

See, it's never a good idea to let dealerships spec a PTS anything.
