I went from LO to Voodoo Blue with PCCB, Black wheels and Yellow belts. Also changed gauges to white because it seemed to look better with the Blk/Gray microfiber interior. No good way to gauge any colors without seeing the car. I thought the blue would look sharp and stand out a bit which I believe all RSs should do. Went from a late August build V200 to undetermined V170. I believe if you are planning on keeping the car, you should make it yours which is why I am willing to wait for a PTS. Since I live in the frozen tundra of the Midwest, if I don't get it by end of October it may as well come in April.

This 997 cup car is painted Voodoo. Light isn't very good but you get the idea
My (intern's) best shot at Voodoo, split the difference between real life pics in sun and shadow.
It is a little deeper and darker than your interns crack at it. That looks more like Mexico or Riviera to me (which I like). I will see if I have any voodoo pics in direct sunlight for you.

I agree, it didn't translate from photoshop to a jpg accurately. More pics welcome. I'm going to adjust and see if we can get closer.
In general, very excited about this color. I would brand it as sporting and intense but with the restraint of a a medium blue.
'Golf Blue' is neither 'pretty nice' nor 'bright'...my opinion!

We kid about Toyota FJ 'Voodoo Blue' being the same as Porsche PTS 'Voodoo Blue'. The truth is we really don't know if that is the case. I can ask PAG to do a PTS color, give them any 'blue' sample and have it name anything I want. So the individual that ordered 'Voodoo' might have chosen a blue and like the name 'voodoo'. Maybe he was from Haiti. Who knows? There is no guaranty or proof that Toyota FJ 'Voodoo Blue' is Porsche PTS 'Voodoo Blue'. It is all speculation on our part...and a lot of humorous banter. So I would not go by that!

That looks nothing like the original Porsche 'Golf Blue'...but like you said, photos are indeed tricky! The only true test is original paint...and that 911 looks to be totally restored and repainted! So who knows what color they really chose to use!
Here is what Porsche represented 'Golf Blue' to look like in its day...and it's not anything like that color on the car you are showing us!
Yeah, I can't decide PTS ever without having seen the color myself.
That '69 is Golf Blue since new. The paint was matched to the original paint found under the dash on the car before they repainted it, even though the paint was pretty good and with the original formula. Anyway it's as Golf Blue as the expert can make it. I like it a lot but shows that all these photos really don't mean much.
Been to the dealer a few times but they are all white silver black or even the standard reds and yellows. Why PTS and color you can order on a Pana as option I figured.
Other than that everyone is going Green or Voodoo, so looks nice but not much more unique soon as the simple to order purple.

"These photos don't mean much"...Yes, that is the point I always try to make clear to anyone that will listen. Only order a PTS color that you have seen in person and truly love! Photos are deceiving...and often misrepresent how it looks in real life. Taking your advice, I would strongly caution anyone else in this forum from getting excited about the current PAG PTS 'Golf Blue', color code W91, based on the photo below:
Besides, PAG has gone out of its way to tell us that the particular 'Golf Blue' approved for PTS is not the historic vintage Porsche 'Golf Blue', which had as its original color code # 315 (6603)! This 'Golf Blue' has a new color code - W91. And more importantly, the approved 'Golf Blue' is specifically referred to by Porsche as a VW color! It is not the Porsche historic color 'Golf Blue' nor does it have the historic Porsche color code 315 or 6603!
