Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

First off, this is my first post. I found this site about 3 weeks ago as I was helping a friend research his purchase of a 2001 C4. I've already found this site to be incredibly informative and am glad to have it as a resource as I consider my own potential purchase over the next 12-18 months.
That being said, I came across this shot on the official site and wasn't sure what color this car is. My guess is its black and its the lighting that's giving it the blueish feel, but I figured someone here would probably know for sure.
Thanks in advance and I'm glad to be aboard.
Unfortunately, the only real way to appreciate the various colors is to see them in person. I've been very deceived in the past by relying on representations on the computer screen, although if you look at a whole lot of pictures of a certain color under different lighting conditions, you'll get a far better idea than from one.
The problem in seeing colors in person, of course, is that dealers play it safe and order almost exclusively silver, gray, and black, thinking that they won't offend anyone.
Here's one of the best places to check out colors on-line:

It is ANY color you want it to be. Porsche's website uses this imagery to trick the eye. It could be Black, Basalt, Black Metallic, Midnight, Lapis, Slate, Seal or nearly anything else. It's the lighting and trickery that makes it appear the same color as the background and lighting.
I think we have a winner...
If/when I have the car and the money, I might just have to see if I can find someone that will color match for me because I literally go weak in the knees every time I see this picture... which is often since its my desktop.
Thanks for all the input.
you can never tell about sales brochure pictures. they are all done in studios. you need to go to a dealer and look at the cars to see what colors you like
I agree and I've since found pics of several in "normal" light and I still really like it.
Have you been happy w/ the choice and is the blue tint very noticable (which I like) or does it only show up in certain light?
Thanks.
this is the very first shot of C4S back in 02. it is SEAL GREY. compare the side marker color to the color of the car. seal is the closest color to it.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
