Just a few pics as I see questions spring up from time to time.

The same Midnight Blue car will look different an hour later, the next day, or under cloud cover.

Part of what I love about it. But the iris is a gorgeous just blue blue.

Iris blue, I think, is the best 993 color. Wish I had one, especially like this:

Me too, and is why Midnight Blue was my target color.

I've almost bought a Midnight Metallic Blue twice now. Once for the Boxster and once for the Turbo. I'm almost convinced, if I brought home a 3rd Porsche, in MMB, my wife would let me keep it! She loves this color.

I had a midnight blue Boxster. It looked wonderful when it was clean. But keeping it that way was as hard as black, even in the garage.

My 993 is silver.

not quite as hard as black....but much more rewarding!
Fully agree that it is the chameleon of colors....sometimes it looks dark blue, just blue, metallic blue, purple, or black

Did I miss any?

My 89' Tubo Cab was marina blue. It was a gorgeous color that I haven't seen since. Anybody have a picture of a car that color?

Thank you for posting the comparison. The pics help those of us still looking for Blue Cab.

Iris blue will look lighter in person and has a purple hue to it depending on the time of day. Here's mine

Wow...Iris Blue is so close to my Ocean Blue Metallic. It was tough and still is to see the subtle differences depending on how the light hits these cars.

Mine also shows cues of Purple depending on the shade:

Quite welcome. That's why I posted.

I've owned Midnight and Iris, seen Ocean. Ocean is closer to midnight IMHO, but whereas the midnight has a tinge of deeper blue or even black, Ocean has a tinge of very deep dark green. It decidedly IS NOT GREEN, but much like the deep blue sea has a whisper hint of green to it, ocean blue does as well. I haven't seen Zenith up close.

All three are nearly impossible to photo accurately given the subtleties.

One of these days, at one of the many 993 gatherings, folks should line up their Midnight Blue, Ocean Blue, Zenith Blue, Riviera Blue, Blue Turquoise and Iris Blue 993's. Now that would be awesome.

I'm more partial to the brighter hues, especially the blues.

Don't forget Mexico Blue!
