Default Do you have a blue 996?

The BOSS (my son ) has spoken - the 996 cab MUST be blue!So, if you have a blue 996 could you please post a picture of it and the name of the color. Hopefully, I can narrow this down a bit, since I'm sure there are about a 100 shades of blue.

This blue is black...
I have been told by a couple of people who have seen the car at night - they thought it was dark blue.
I guess my advice it lighting has a lot to do with the color - when the Boss finds the blue he likes make sure he sees one in the bright daylight and on an overcast day - it can make a huge difference - best of luck.
There is a blue named "midnight blue" I always thought looked great.

Black top, but it's really interesting how lighting affects:

Here's another shot of Midnight Blue Metallic for you. It can look like black in certain light, and it can look almost as blue as Lapis Blue Metallic in some light.
