Default Turquoise Blue vs. Audi S4 Nogaro Blue question

Can someone tell me if the two colors in the subject line above are the same? To me they sure look similar, what do guys think? Both are very sweet!

I think they are different. Turquoise is duller than Nogaro. Nogaro is a bright, shiny blue. In real life Turquoise looks a little dull and darker. It isn't very shiny.

Two totally different colors. Turquoise is well...turquoise with green tones whereas Nogaro is darker with more purple.

Are you thinking of doing a color change?

Don't know what the differences are without seeing them side by side. But having seen a Blau Tuerkis (Blue Turquoise) 993 in person, I thought it looked great. The perfect pastel companion to my Pastel Yellow car.

No he is talking about Turquoise Blue(i.e. Jerry Seinfelds ex 997 Turbo S) not Turquoise. The above picture is Turquoise not Turquoise Blue. I'll see if I can get a pic.

See link below for example

SA Mike, that Signal Green 964 Turbo is the bomb. Looks great. I really love funky colored Porsches. Get you, me, a turquoise blue car along with the purple color that the 964 RS came in and we have quite a rainbow.

Thanks Mike - updated - of course this is not a fair comparison anyways because of all the conditions involved - got to see the cars side by side.

I sure like that special order Turquoise though.

No Problem. You are right that Turquoise is sweet especially on that 993TT. They are all nice.

Dang, you had a Mk IV R32, I am getting a Mk V R32, I have Duc, you had a Duc. We are both named Mike. But I don't think that I am getting a car from RPM any time soon. Would love to see your car in person someday. It really is a nice piece.

Yes you would have to remind me. But that other one is not a 3.6, so it is one of kind (until another one shows up)...sort of. Definatly one of a kind in Texas! Yeehaa!

I loved my R32 it was a great car, just needed a wee bit more power to make one of the all time greats. Sold the Duc about 2 years ago. Wasn't driving it much so I sold it, it too was great machine. Congrats on the R32

Blue Turquoise (3AS) looks good on the current lineup...
