Default Riviera vs. Mexico Blue

Can anyone provide comparison photos of the two shades of blue?

Thanks.

My '06 Riviera blue C2S, in front of Larry Cable's '10 Mexico blue GT3.

Couldn't transfer the pic from this web page, so here's the link. Can anyone bring the image to this thread?

In this pic you can see that when they're parked in the shade you can not tell any difference between Mexico and Riviera.

Stuttgart - Porsche has officially given the green light to a new lightweight Cayman model variant due to debut for the 2012 model year. The Cayman CS or "Club Sport" will be shown at the Los Angeles auto show later this year and go on sale in 2011 as a 2012 model. The CS will receive some of the same treatment given to the recent Boxster Spyder such as lighter weight components, fabric door pulls, and a uniquely styled set of lightweight wheels modeled after those on the GT2 RS. Recent press reports indicated that this new variant was shown to Sales Managers in US and Europe at recent internal Porsche meetings and given the positive response from their dealership network Porsche has chosen to move forward with production.

A number of technical items have been circulated internally among the team responsible for this variant and include the following:
333hp 3.4L engine
Sport PASM suspension - 20mm lower than stock ride height
A/C, stereo are optional
162-184lbs lighter than stock Cayman S
Aluminum doors, fabric door pulls
Lightweight hatch, optional lexan window (europe only)
19" unique lightweight wheels

I agree with alexb76. I just purchased a 2006 C4S in Mexico Blue. I think it fall btween Riviera and Maritime. Riviera is a very pastel color and Maritime a deeper blue. But, I like them all. Certainly not colors you see very often.
