They are great P-car colours!!
As possible paint to sample how about BMW's Estoril Blue?

I am obviously fond of Laguna Seca Blue (really french racing blue IMHO).
According to BMW dealers, LS Blue is apparently tough to sell. Too much personality
for the typical "silver" or "dark gray" european luxury car buyer.

LSB is pretty close to the Rivera blue on the P car. If lambo orange can't be done, LSB will be a close second, after speed yellow.

Alas
No longer available from BMW (last year was 05 I think), unless it made a
a return with the MZ4 Roadster.

Mexico Blue:

There was a GT2 in Adriatic Blue (a 914 colour) at last years 356 event in Dana Point. It was beautiful. Looked very much like Maritime but a hint darker.
My problem with Porsche colours of late is that all the colours minus SY and GR are metallics. The great 70s colours--Viper green, tangerine, signal yellow/orange/green, gulf orange, etc. were all non metallics.
