Yup, the picture in that thread is what the color actually looks like in person and getting black wheels on the car along with the other black bits will make for a nice contrast.

Just in time

It is called Miami Blue for a reason https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...act=mrc&uact=8

Agree. Having seen MB in person many times, I like it.

The MB discussion seems to mirror the LO discussion...

This makes no sense. Apples and oranges.

I love my Miami Blue 991. I have yet to see another Miami Blue 991 or 718 on the road or even at the meets.

... that should tell you something no?

(I kid, I kid!)

Just yet one more advise... Go check this colour in ALL light conditions.

I was a huge fun of this colour and did not see any green hue in it. Only because I saw it first in LED lights in a show room.
Freakintastic colour. If it only was consistent in all light conditions that would be a winner.

Then I saw it on a cloudy day on regular 911 and was totally underwhelmed. I actually felt so lucky to see it cause that made my decision to not spec my car it this colour.

Colour is subjective and MB might have their lovers even when its dull and turquoise under shady conditions but make again yourself a favour and check it out in ALL light conditions.

This is basically false information you are
spouting, Evil-guy!

"Just remember, no one ordered the bright
colors everyone wants on PTS now when
they were new."

What are the 'factual data' for these baseless
observations?

In MY1970, in one of the few color analysis
of production cars at Porsche ever published*,
the take-rate for a very bright 'Tangerine/
BloodOrange' was 14.5%! 'Signal Orange'
was nearly 12%! 'Conda Green' & 'Irish Green'
& 'Albert Blue' were 7% each! 'Bahia Red' &
'Burgundy' were at 6%. Even 'Pastel Blue''s
take rate was 4%. These were all 'Standard'
color offerings for MY1970!

And 21% of total production (nearly 16K that
model year) were in 21 'Special Colors' that
included 'Leaf Green', 'Signal Yellow', 'Olive',
'Crystal Blue', etc. And even with the possibility
of 9 'Standard' colors' & 21 'Special Colors'
offered by PAG in MY1970, around 1.3% of
all production was still requested & done in
'Paint to Sample' hues not listed!

And when Roger Penske decided to order the
RSRs for the International Race of Champions
just a few years later, the colors of those 911s
are foreever burnished in the minds of those
that lived through & remember those historic
'bright' colors...all factory offerings at the time!
And they were all popular colors with customers
at Porsche!





So you are way off-base, Evil-guy!

^Another educational post!

Turquoise blue, that's what it looks like in person. It's love or hate.

Op, what wheels did you order? Are those the standard finish?

I am not a fan of Miami Blue and I think Voodoo is the winner.

Miami is very much like bmw Laguna seca

jlee504

I think it has much more green than Laguna Seca..

NevB

And the winner, by knockout!

I don't really think even the left side photo truly represents MB. All this does it show that there is more green compared to a purer blue, but MB looks way better than this in person. To call it "blah" is a little much as this color pops as much as racing yellow in person. Post #25 above is a better example.

Archimedes

agreed. It's close but definitely more green. Makes all the difference though. Love LS blue. Miami not so much.

People do crazy things for color. After hearing all the differing comments on guards red, on rennlist, I flew 6 states away to see the first guards red GT3 delivered to the US , to confirm my color choice before my 2014 GT3 order locked a couple weeks later.
