Cobalt blue, from a google search. Seemed to be a popular colour for the 997.1 Turbo, perhaps the launch car?

It's almost an "electric" blue

I love all five. I voted for Aetna ... simply stunning.

As for cobalt, it is an odd blue. My second 911 was cobalt and it looked straight up purple in certain lighting (which I was not that keen on) as cobalt has hints of purple in it.

I think you will find heaven in your 991 MT. Are you getting another base? That would be my vote (lightly optioned). Hope you get a good deal.

Mexico for me, but followed closely by Aqua, Zenith and Cobalt.

aqua and cobalt are my favorite blue colors in person on the 911. I had a cobalt 08 GT3 and an aqua 10RS, both made me quite happy each time I saw them in the garage or the parking lot.

the baby blue style colors are just too much and don't offer good contrasts with interior combos or the red brakes on a gt3 but look good with black graphics or black calipers.

ultimately if you're getting something besides silver, red, black or white you're taking a risk in the ease of resale on a 911.
