Maybe, I looked the Maritime Blue color page and there's a GT4 in Maritime Blue, 38B. Cool picture but honestly it's not a true reflection of the color. I know, I owned a 38B 911 for 9 years.
So while this resource may attempt to capture every color, in reality you'll need to see the color in the flesh to fully appreciate it.

Agree about seeing it in the flesh, but you should upload pics of your 997 (I think it was maritime). I uploaded some pics of my GT3 in Auratium just now. Z356 mentioned this project a while back and the results seem very good. The more pics of different cars the better.

I think it's very well done. Somehow my car is there, I don't remember submitting a picture but they have it with my name so all is good!

Pictures will always be a poor substitute for the real thing but it at least gives you some idea. I wish it was around when I made my color choice.

I was looking at this last night. Terrific resource and my guess is that it will benefit Porsche with more PTS demand. They should be doing their part to populate photos of actual cars in rare colors etc. I now have in mind a color for a 992 Targa once they come out.

Gemini Blue (non metallic) is missing, but couldn’t find a way to add a color. Maybe I missed something...

It’s one of my new favorites!

I wish this existed when I was choosing my PTS color! Ultimately settled on Maritime Blue, thanks in part to @Bruce R's 997 and @br2002's GT4

I agree the photo for Maritime Blue isn't especially representative, but as you know it can be very hard to photograph (my iPhone pictures tend to make it look far more blue-blue like Voodoo Blue and darker -- the violet undertones rarely come through, nor the pastel-ishness in direct sunlight)... When time allows, I'll try to snag some color accurate photos of my GT3T and upload them.

Super resource. Been all over it in sorting through all of the blues for upcoming Speedster build - surprised at how many exist in Porsche’s history.

In addition to that issue, there are numerous mistakes with the photos and also descriptions. I guess I'm in the minority, but I wasn't impressed.
