Default Neptune Blue in LA area?

Our son has an allocation with his build scheduled as Neptune Blue/Truffle. But, he hasn't been able to see the color in real life on the ground other than some brief glimpses while driving the other way. The dealer has no Neptune cars and doesn't have a paint sample either.

Is there anyone with a Neptune Blue car around LA that would be willing to let him come and see it (or meet somewhere)? He has some time before the build locks, so he's trying to make sure it's the color they want.

If so, please feel free to PM me and I'll put you in touch.

Thanks in advance...

My neighbor in laguna beach has one, a cross tour. Trust me, it’s a fantastic color.
Looks GREAT on the Taycan. And a truffle interior would be amazing. I had espresso (similar) natural leather on a 991 and it’s so good.
Mine is gentian blue and if i had spec’s it I’d have ordered Neptune.

He's seen a couple in traffic going the other way and he's fairly certain it's the color, but he would like more than a glimpse if possible. They've seen GB, FBM and Cherry cars on the lot. Those are out but he was surprised how nice the Cherry looked.
I had a 991 with Espresso and really liked it. The Truffle in my 992 is nice but I would have preferred Espresso given the choice.

My used 2021 4S is around somewhere. I loved the color a lot but I wanted a bit more pop (Neptune (has a grey/blue tone) so I traded It for a PTS voodoo blue Turbo S a couple months ago at Beverly Hills. Car lasted about a week before they sold it. My wife prefers the Neptune to my Voodoo ironically...

He sent me a pic of one he saw somewhere today. Search over and he’s not changing the build.
Pics above look great!
