In the video, seems near impossible to tell the difference!

Shark looks like a slightly paler version of Voodoo. IMO, it looks like Miami with the green tinge removed.

I'm assuming Voodoo is on the 981 GT4 and Shark is the 992 GT3. I've seen Voodoo Blue in person and at least on my computer, it doesn't look like that. Voodoo Blue is a much darker blue. It's still on the lighter side of the blue spectrum whereas for example Gentian Blue is on the darker side to explain what I mean by lighter side vs darker side but Voodoo is much darker than what I'm seeing in these pictures. Yes, it could be my eyes and/or computer processing and/or lighting but these pictures show the colors to be more along the lines of Riviera and Mexico Blue and I can from first hand experience confirm that Voodoo Blue is definitely much darker than Riviera Blue.

On a side note, from the colors that I've seen in person, I'd rank them as follows from light to dark.

Miami Blue, Oslo Blue (which my son and I saw and immediately said Oslo is basically a darker version of Miami Blue.)

Pastel Blue, Riviera Blue, Mexico Blue, Voodoo Blue (Pastel, Riviera, and Mexico are so close that I would never be able to tell them apart unless they were next to each other and even then, I'd probably mix them up.)

Personally, I much prefer Voodoo, but color is personal, of course.

Here are some links that better represent Voodoo Blue's true color.

Imagine paying $13k for Voodoo when Shark is $4k.

I'm a big Voodoo fan but it's way too similar for an extra $9k

Maybe I am just a nit wit, but I can't tell the difference between PASM in sport or normal or Voodoo vs Shark Blue. Voodoo just sounds so much cooler to say though.

I saved these from other Rennlist threads and wish I could properly credit the sources—maybe somebody can chime in. Based on the mug and model I ordered, Shark is definitely a medium blue—noticeably darker than Mexico—and clearly darker than it appears in most internet photos and videos. I was originally going to spec Mexico, but Shark came along, with all the Shark interior/exterior accents. I was offered a confirmed build slot for an early non-PTS versus a possible build slot on a later PTS allocation, so that made it easy to save the PTS money/hassle.

Agreed 100%.

Aside from whether the video colors are true to real life, I think this video shows that under the same lighting and same camera, they look incredibly close!

For those who seen Shark Blue in person. How similar is it to Toyota’s Voodoo Blue that was first on the FJ Cruiser. Is it that dark and rich?
