Just leaving this here.

Looks a very different shade of blue depending on the light.

Great shot. I can see why you love it.

There’s something special about the 991 cars. Porsche got the proportions, the balance and the lines just right on the 991. I think it’s one of the best looking 911s ever made. I like things about every generation, but the 991 really nailed it. As cars continue to evolve and technology continues to change cars, I think the 991 will be remembered as the perfect balance between technology and driving dynamics.

Enjoy it!

My 996 C4S was Midnight Blue Metallic. I loved that color. Dark blues work well with Porsches.

As do lighter hues...colors just seem to make it look better to some more than other colors but no matter the color it is one of the best 911 designs yet, and yes, I am taking into account the 992.

Looks great, I prefer Platinum Silver, and I'm a guy who always buys cars that pop paint wise!

Here’s my old Midnight Blue Metallic 996. It’s definitely one of those colors that changes quite a bit depending on lighting.
