Looks too bright to be Zenith. I think Zenith has more gray in it.

Looks cool regardless!

This is Zenith, it's a little flatter and almost looks purple/grey sometimes.


The car in question looks more like Cobalt Blue but I've never seen another 993 like it.

Yeah, I agree. That is gorgeous. I love blue 911's, in general.

I also love blue 911s... and a blue 993 is about the most beautiful Porsche every made.

Maritime is more cobalt-like and Mexico is heading towards Riviera.
The left one is Mexico. The right one looks more like Riviera, ie lighter.

chris, the left car above is turquoise blue and the right is riveria. Mexico blue is used on the ruf 996RGT and old 911's from the 70s.

maritime blue is a 964 color, not a 993 color and mexico blue also is a non993 color.

i think the car in question is still closest to zenith unless it was completely paint-to-sample.
