I found Lapis’ “PTS Sample and pics” thread to be very useful since he did side-by-side pics in the same lighting. Plus, the RAW format and camera he used probably helped capture the colors better than most cellphone pictures: https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...-and-pics.html

Anything else is worthless as you described: different camera, different lighting, etc, etc, etc.
^^^Haha over the past few weeks I just about viewed every picture of Gulf Blue found online. These are both Gulf Blue. It’s the lighting. Variations are even more extreme.
Sometimes it looks washed out. Sometimes (most of the time) it’s a stronger blue. Here’s a video (actually the video won’t post, how?) and a couple pics I shot of a Gulf Blue Macan a few weeks ago at Paul Miller in NJ.
I absolutely adore the color, but ultimately passed because it’s a touch too baby blue for my taste. Extraordinary shade nonetheless. Perfection on smaller 911s from the past, and with some subtle white and orange striping. Meissen might be the best shade of blue ever, but I can’t find a car to view it on.
Thank you very much. This helps a lot. I want to be sure before I pay 12k for a paint it is interesting that even two shots at the same time have different shades depending on the angle.
i m actually looking for a light blue color. Something close the sky blue on a sunny day. I wish i could see one in real life.

Which red (both CR from RL) is closer to Carmine ?
(my opinion having seen it in person is the second picture is way closer despite not yet exactly what seen in reality)

We have CR Macan so I see it everyday and you are not going to like my answer- both picture represent it well to my eye.
Here's two of the Macan in sun and not taken with an iPhone, color shift on these photos seem to make it look brighter than those above, but similar impact under different lighting conditions, the shade tends to bring out more purple/black overtones:
