Question Lapis vs. Cobalt Blue?

I've narrowed it down to these two colors (either with natural grey interior).

Looking for any and all opinions. Some of my more off the wall worries
- is Lapis too "purple-ish?"
- is cobalt to light to be a "guy's" color

Feel free to laugh at me, but give me your thoughts!

Thanks.

Cobalt all the way. One of the best colors for the TT.

So, you're laughing at the whole "is it a guy's color" thing huh?

Natural grey work?

Cobalt is a stunner....really grabs you, multiple hues in varying lighting conditions, etc.

As does Midnight. Midnight is more black than blue though, so if you are looking for a Blue you can find in the parking lot, Cobalt is it.

Midnight Blue is where I'm leaning as well. If I convince myself to wait, I'd go with NSX blue.

I'm going with Cobalt Blue all the way! Really shows off the 997TT lines quite well. I don't have a picture of Lapis blue but I do have pictures of Cobalt blue and Midnight blue.

Midnight blue:




Not a 997TT but at least it's a 997

Cobalt or Speed Yellow. I can't make up my mind.
