Default Cobalt Blue.. Not so much

For anyone interested, this is Midnight Blue. Not the super rare Cobalt Blue.. Dealer most likely made a mistake..

Default Yip

Yip,
-20% on the blue scale...

However seems like a decent buy pending the "house wife's" of Orange County,....

Looks more like lapis blue than cobalt blue to me. Cobalt blue is a lighter shade of blue.

There must be differences between "midnight blue" then. A neighbor had a midnight blue 993 Turbo S and the color was blue but very dark.

Agreed. Midnight Blue has a lot of black in it.
