I might be wrong here, but I think the Porsche added Cobalt in 2002 to replace Zenith (which some say has too much purple...).

The other day I was following a 996 turbo on my way home that was blue. I don't really know how to describe it, but it was a light blue, and very bright almost pastel? I was wondering if this is a factory color and if any knows what it might be?
I didn't know what to think about it at first, but it certainly catches your eye. After following it for a little while though, and seeing it from different angles, it was actually kinda cool. Does anyone know what color I am talking about?
Zenith Blue?

Cobalt Blue:

Porsche also had Iris Blue. There was a Horizon blue in the mid 90's that was very similar to the 997 PCA Club Car color which is more of a pastel looking blue or Metallic Baby blue. Any color for the most part could be a paint to sample color.
Edit: Sorry posted before I could find my links
I believe that the TT that Sandoval posted above is Cobalt, not Zenith. I might be wrong here, but I think the Porsche added Cobalt in 2002 to replace Zenith (which some say has too much purple...). That was my first thought about the color that 87 944 referred to.
Thanks for the replies, but I think I found it on a 968. If this is not the exact color, its pretty close. Does anyone know the name of this color and if it ever came stock on a 996tt? TIA!
I have seen it on a 996 that was special ordered through HBL in Tysons, VA. The person that ordered it backed out and they sat on it for a few months...it was posted on ebay. In person the Riviera Blue is much better than it may appear in photos. Herer is a Boxster in Riviera Blue
ZX that is not mexico blue or just a bad picture not showing true color. It looks like it is closer to Mint.
First pic is MINT another 90's color available on the 968
Second Pic is a Riviera Blue 968CS that was imported into the US
Third Pic is a 997 Mexico Blue, Mexico Blue and Riviera Blue are very close in color.
I guess my eyes are bad, & so is the picture. The pic I posted is of a car I
was looking to buy & it did look like the car in your last picture. This was the
original color of the car....1987 911.
