BTW, I also went back to see the Maritime blue car yesterday and try as I might, could not get a true representation of the color with my little Canon SD940. Here is one that I adjusted in PS which gives some idea (at least on my monitor) but again, the only way to be sure is to spray out a sample or see the car in person.

OMG! You need to adjust your monitor--or buy another one!
One of these days we'll have to get the following all in one shot:
Maritime Blue
Riviera Blue
Mexico Blue
Blue Turquoise

... with a professional photographer, maybe. I could not capture a realistic representation; neither could the dealership. They took dozens of pictures and none of them were even close.

Adriatic is different... here is Riviera, Mexico and Maritime sprayed out a few weeks ago. But again, what you see in photos is not the true color, in my experience. I took the trouble to go see all three cars and have never seen them represented accurately in photos. BTW, I was tested for color blindness three weeks ago!!!

I agree I have been thinking about one of these 3 cars for a while now, but the Riv in L.A and the mex in Monterrey have a LOT of bling on them ...
the best is the maritime in S.D ... although it does not have PCCB

I liked Riviera. Despite all the 'washed out' photos and resultant negative opinion, it actually looked very good. Of the three, it is the only one I would seriously consider. The yellow calipers clashed somewhat and the interior was absolutely horrid but the color itself is surprisingly good on a GT3.

The car loaded up with Nav, heated seats makes this a "touring" GT3 which is OK I guess for a person not interested in tracking the car.
The second picture of my car, posted on page 1 of this thread and repeated here, is a good representation of Maritime.
Dan is however correct what we need is a group picture outdoor in some good light of all the non-metallic PtS blues.
