Default Cobalt Blue over Grey spotted - HRE show

Saw this on June 2nd at the HRE show.
Really like Cobalt over Grey.
It has some embellishments that I'm not a fan of, but hey, it's not my car.
I know i'll be looking for a 997.1 Turbo or GT3 in this color combo.

Ahhhhh, Cobalt... Best standard blue Porsche has done yet. A buddy here in Toronto also has a Cobalt 997.1TT with PCCB and yellow deviated stitching - stunning spec.

Cobalt IS appealing, but I'm still partial to Iris Blue as the "best" blue.

Certainly not a color that is in abundance. Planning to prep my car for sale by the end of the month. Baby #3 is nearly here so I'll really be out of time to enjoy it.

Can't believe a car built to this level would do that, gotta be a tow hook mount

I love that color. Was actually looking for that color when I found my white one. White was second choice and the price was right. I wish I could have one of each.
