It's Smurf Blue.
If you plan on ordering this color, just make sure you see it in person, as is the case with all of these off-Crayola colors from PAG.
Miami Blue = Smurf Blue
Lava Orange = Traffic Cone Orange
Chalk = Cement Tile

I like the color and have seen it in person several times. I'll be getting it if my PTS request doesn't come through.

I’m kinda baffled by the hatred and venom being directed towards MB. I’ve seen it on numerous 911s in various conditions-each time it looks fantastic. So what gives? Just like any color, it should be seen in person to be sure it’s for you. I chose Carmine, but MB was a close second.

That is one way to net it out, and it is spot on.

I like it best w the std two-tone finish on the optional Sport Classic wheels where the grey spokes bring out the blue vs the subtle green in MB ...in any case it isn’t ever gonna look like that image on the tablet , which is so darkly underexposed that it veers closer to my Club Coupe’s Club Blau color

I was hot to trot on this color for a while, but its just too feminine looking for my taste. I've certainly seen some cool 991s in this color, but it just isn't for me.

those of us who have seen it in various light in person just wanna helpfully give a heads up to anyone considering specing that color having only seen it on-line thinking it’s a non-PTS way of getting something like classic PTS Riviera/Mexico Blue may not like its frequent turquiose hue in certain light and that image above should at least prod an MB intender to see it in person , where they may like it better than, say , Riviera Blue , etc !

On another unrelated thread, I actually think this is the most accurate representation I’ve seen.
