Default Miami Blue Again :/

These pictures make me turn towards MB again.

I was decided and so far ordered white:

I am wondering if that is just magic of those fantastic pictures.

Do not order Miami until you see it in person. Make sure you can view outside and inside, cause the sun washes the color.

Those photos are quite photoshopped, you can see halo around the edges of the car. I saw a regular 991 carrera in Miami Blue and thought it was very bright with a lot of green in it, but in the iPhone photo I took it looked much darker and deeper... Not for shy people at all, regardless.

More turquoise in it compared to Mexico or Riviera.

That is MB and not photoshopped. In the Direct sunlight looks a little different.

I am not a "Blue" guy but have sene MB a couple of times and once for 30 min inside and outside.

It is a very cool color if you like a lighter shade of blue. I think (1) year from now many who were on the fence with this color will regret falling on the other side - just my $.02- meaning - you will regret not pulling trigger

MB for the win! I have seen it in person and think it looks good.

See a MB Targa around town. Looks sharp in the sun and shade. Definitely pops. As for the green it's there but not an overpowering presence at all.

I have seen a couple in MB including spending two days around one at Spa recently. Normally, I do not like MB, but somehow, it actually suits the GT3 and looks good.

Ok, "corrected in photo processing software". Look at that halo around the edge of the car.

Yup.... MB is deceiving in pics. It's BEST to see one in person with your own eyeballs and under both indoor and outdoor lighting. Its more accurate hue is alot closer to turquoise than the PTS-like true blue (e.g. Mex, Riv, Vood...) due to the greenish tint in the Miami Blue color.

Think "Miami Vice" -ish... it's really more pastel blue-green or aquamarine-ish than Mexico or Riviera Blue. This iphone pic I took makes the blue more vivid than it actually is... it's a nice color but still quite different than the PTS-blues we all are used to.

think miami dolphins blue....there are a few photos posted with mexico next to it, which really shows how much green there is in the color. I'm in the camp of ...."I think you'll regret it later".

Saw MB on a regular Carrera. Was just ok.
I recon that on GT3 with some black accents it will really stand out.
Hope to see GT3 MB live before my configuration locks.

This is the best pic I've seen to help people understand what Miami Blue looks like and how it really compares to popular PTS Riviera and Mexico Blue, especially as it relates to the greener content of Miami Blue that often fails to show up in isolated pics of Miami Blue (due to camera white and color balance errors). From left to right, these cars are: Riviera, Miami, Mexico....

Here are some indoor fotos of a 991 convertible in MB. I think this is the most "turquoise" appearance MB can take.


Best
