This video (I don't understand the language but like the footage!) looks much more like the MIAMI BLUE samples I saw in person and Eduardo posted.

Glad I did not take the Miami blue after all.
PE BH had sent me a picture back in early June of a cayman that looks exactly like the pics we are seeing today and it felt too close to turquoise for me. Was hoping it would be less yellow but in doubt I didnt pull the trigger.

I know these greens can be difficult to accurately photograph, but knowing the spyder is viper green, I think the panels have been mislabeled. I'd guess the top left and bottom left are 2D8 (green), the top right is viper (225) and the bottom right is signal. I thought viper has the most yellow in it which the top right photo clearly has. Maybe the expert on this, Eduardo, can give his thoughts?

These are all in different lighting/exposures so I don't think you can directly compare them. You need to look at the overall colour shade. If I was guessing I would have said the boxster was viper as it looks a bit darker with a bit more blue than signal. However if someone told me the boxster was 2D8 I wouldn't argue with them. The other colour samples as labelled look ok to me as well. Viper is darker and signal is more yellow with 2D8 in the middle. A picture with all three would have been best. I had viper, yellow green, and 2d8 samples made to compare them so that is what I'm basing my opinion on.
I also agree that I'm not thrilled with Miami. I was expecting a bit cooler more grey colour.
