Default Aqua blue with blue top?

Just trying to finalize a build for a cabriolet:


I have searched, and apologize if this has been asked before, but I cannot find a picture of Aqua Blue with a blue convertible top.

I'm trying to find a good color combo with Aqua Blue, a blue or black top, and the interior most likely going agate/pebble gray leather.

Would the blue top match the aqua blue, or is it more of another hue? I love Aqua blue on non-convertible tops, but I would not want a mis-matched blue and therefore would prefer black (or red, perhaps) but most likely black.

Any thoughts most appreciated, thank you!

I like aqua blue best in a coupe. It just doesn't do it for me in a Cab. If I ever buy a coupe it will be at the top of my list.

It will look great with a blue top. The top is not a perfect match for the Aqua Blue, nor should it be. It is a close match which has great contrast, it will look much better than a black top.

Go for it, enjoy yourself, it will be a great car.

Blue top will be nice, but i always prefer a black hood in a cabrio.

wow it looks great - love the interior accents. Thats exactly what my C4S interior would have been, the platinum grey with the blue center console trim. Love the C2S that found me - but those are beautiful cars. Love Aqua Blue.

Before you jump onto a blue top think about how many black areas are on the 991. If enough then there is nothing wrong with a black top.
