It looks more like a turquoise, but it must just be the lighting as I'm sure the seller knows what color it is.

I'd ask him what the code is. Riviera Blue is a '94/'95 color and this car is a '96 when they switched to Turquoise Blue which is a darker color.

Response from seller - Blautuerkis!

"JP, you may be right. The code on the car is 3AS. It also says BLAUTUERKIS on the sticker which is what is listed on the Porsche lookup code list for 3AR. However, I can find no official document that has the 3AS code. Can you tell me where you got the information regarding this 3AS code. Regardless, I will put a correction to my Ebay listing as it is obvious that it is not Riviera Blue as I always thought!

Thank you,

Lester"
