Photos 1 and 3 are more accurate. Photo 2 looks like it's somewhere between gulf and riviera. Miami has very distinct green tones so if that's not obvious in the photos then they are not accurate. If you look at the glasurit website you will see there is a lot of 90-A640 Blue/Green in the mix, a component which is completely absent in Riviera, Mexico and Voodoo.

I recently took some photos of a Lava orange C4S with my galaxy S6 and they appeared almost red, those pics I took with my wife's iPhone 6 were a lot more accurate.

Miami Blue is a great color. It is one that you have to see in person to really appreciate.

It's def not baby blue; there is a hint of tropical sea green to the blue. I like it, but def go check it out. I got Lava because I really like its vibrance. But some 'Listers saw salmon in it, whereas I see none (except in photos, when white balance when 'off' can result in a pinkish hue).

Agreed. Just that photo 1, the lighting is poor - MB 'pops' more than this shot indicates.

Oalvarez, do you think Mexico and Riviera look better? I can't make up my mind

Yes, have seen it a few times in person and on the first post, it looks like the first picture. Very much teal.

I have now seen heaps of Miami Blue 991s including around 20 all at the sea time in Leipzig. In general, photo 1 is the best representation on the colour in the majority of different lights situations.

It's a turquoise on the blue side. That's the best way I can describe it.

I'm partial to the former but am truly warming up to hue of Miami Blue. I feel as it's the next very interesting and acceptable non-traditional blue while the others may be a bit yesteryear.

Spot on.

Was Miami Blue once a PTS color? I too am warming up to idea. I admit I like the color when its photographed indoors as is has more of a blue color. In the bright sunlight it carries more of a teal color.

I took this on an overcast day at the Porsche Centre, Silverstone... I'd say it's exactly what it looks like in most lights.

Funny, it looks very different from here. In fact, in reality it looks more green than my photo even shows.

Does anybody has seen really a car like this (Miami colour) and could say which is the real colour ?
Ciao Ennio, I've bought a new Porsche Miami Blue and I can tell you that goes in the direction of the darker image.
However, the darker image is just a bad image, as somebody already suggested, I would go to a porsche garage and check the colour there.
I have to say that the Porsche configurator, is pretty accurate! ;-) check that one first, is quicker!
