Default Albert Blue vs Dark Sea Blue….

Anyone have pics side by side? I know Albert is a bit brighter in the direct sun but would like to see side by side if possible.

I have a GT4RS in Albert Blue coming in April so I'll post up some pictures when I see the car.

Dark Sea Blue is definitely a darker colour and can be seen more black in certain lights. The best colour to compare it to would be Ferraris Blue Pozzi. Albert Blue is definitely more vibrant and lighter.

I would put Albert in the medium blue /purple category

vs Meerblau as definitely a dark blue /purple

Some great shots of Albert here https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...t3-touring-14/

Both were on my list but I went medium, and metallic. I like Albert a lot! Meer was more a "common" PTS on 991.2 GT cars if that matters to you

Dark Sea Blue is too muted and doesn't have enough "pop" in the color. Albert is a darker blue but it has that subtle "pop" when you look at it.

Albert blue is much less dark than meer. I wouldn't even call Albert dark blue. It's a medium to dark royal blue. It looks absolutely gorgeous indoors and in cloudy to dark outdoors. It direct sun it "washes" out and goes slightly milky. I loved my Albert blue touring but personally much prefer a darker blue such as meer, night blue, dark blue metallic, navy blue, Swartz blue etc etc. good luck you can't go wrong with either it's all personal preference.

Hello, I was doing some research on Porsche's blue colors and found some 911 in Bali blue that looks pretty much like Albert blue.

any one has ever seen a Bali blue Porsche ? is it the same as Albert?

Thank you

Here are some pics of my buddies Deep Sea Blue GT4.

I don’t care for it, way to dark and most of the time just looks black. Every spec of dust visible.

Bali blue is less “cloudy” compared to Albert blue and a stronger blue hue is how I would describe it.

I think Bali is more of a true blue and maybe a tad of grey in it compared to Albert. Sometimes Albert can take on a bit of purple hue.

Never seen Bali on a modern car as maybe it’s not approved for PTS. But popular 356 color.
