Good job!

I have heard Gulf is impossible to order now, is that true?

Maritime also look great, somehow that's a bit purple right?

Amazing how much the colors change between pictures for the same color. Here is another Gulf and Tuquoise.

Just to demonstrate what lighting will do to Riviera Blue, a few pictures of my car in different lighting.

Lighting is everything when it comes to colour...

That looks right; I definetely screwed up labeling my pics.

You are correct about lighting, monitor, picture quality, etc...

Your second Gulf looks more like the Riviera or Mexico, but I can also see the Gulf on the side of the car.

I now officially do not like Gulf; looks like a washed out or faded blue.

MJSpeed

May I suggest you don't base your decision on one picture...try to see as many pictures of the same colour as possible and of course ideally try to view them in person...

Thanks for the advice, I like Riviera blue everytime I see any pics of it. But, I just don't like the Rivieria blue sample that my salesman showed me. However, the code is right, just don't understand why that's look so much darker.

Be interested to see if you can order gulf blue. Dan (regular on 997 forum) wasn't able to but there were two late model p-cars with gulf (cgt and a 997).

Keep in mind that a sample is not the same...

Gulf Blue can NOT be ordered however this would contradict that statement...unless these are different kinds of blue (similar but different) or were painted afterwards...

Random old thread resurrection (apologies) - but the 997 above is a Photoshop.

Below, Mexico is real, the Gulf GT3 is bogus, first TT is a pshop and the final one is legit Gulf Blue (although looks a bit washed out):

And a lovely looking piece of wishful thinking in the form of a 997.2:

a little out there. But I actually like it.
