cobalt blue

What are your opinions and how many 996 turbos have come in cobalt blue? And red or yellow brakes with this color?

Cobalt blue is by far the best blue for the 996 and is worth the extra £££ over the standard colours.

Problem is, I've noticed it's starting to get common on the 997.

The yellow of the PCCB calipers contrasts extremely well with the exterior colour. I can post pics if you so desire.

It's one of a kind. Awesome in daylight, spectacular at night too. I just don't understand Porsche's mentality. The paint COSTS the same to them regardless of color (well, ok, metallics/pearls/multi-stage IS a bit more)....but why charge 3 grand for the color? Makes no sense, but most of the options pricing makes little sense.

If you really love the color, you should get it! Saw yellow belts and yellow calipers, gray interior on one recently and it was a beauty.

1. To keep the color exclusive

3. Because it is a porsche

Apologies for the delay in replying, this isn't the greatest but this does show the contrast between the yellow calipers and Cobalt blue wellish. Don't have any side on shots, just yet.
