Question Riviera and Mexico Blue

Anyone have pics of Riviera Blue and Mexico Blue?

I can't see the different between them, anyone knows?

And color code for both colors?

Thank You!

Thanks, but why Shane Riviera's GT3 look darker than Joe Riviera's 993?

Which is the real tone??

I am going through the same thing right now and have found the two colors to be very close.

Riviera - L39E
Mexico - L336

As the other guy mentioned, lighting is a factor, but so are digital pictures, or pictures of any kind. You can't compare two different pictures, from two different sources, taken with two different cameras.

And then there are differences in the paint itself. Not every batch of Riviera is exactly the same as the other. Depends on the manufacturer (hopefully it is Glasuirt), and other variables.

I will be going with Riviera, but with a slightly darker version of it. I don't want the full Pansie effect!

I will attach a pic of Riviera Blue and then one of Mexico, and finally a Gulf Racing Blue (L328). Hope this helps...

Thanks.

The first RS is Riviera and the second one is Mexico, what about the last one? I don't think that's Gulf blue.

Shane,

I have found some pics of your car with RS wing and some without the front lip.

Do you have pics of your car with original wing, silver wheels and front lip?

Thanks.

That one may be wrong, but I do have it labeled as GulfRacing1 thru 3 for threee of them; I may have mislabeled or gotten a bad source.

Lighting has so much to do with what colour you see...not mention picture quality and your monitor.
