    GT3 RS blue decals -- color saturation differences?

    i've never seen a GT3 RS in white/blue trim in reality -- but i'm wondering for quite some time if PAG somehow changes the saturation of their decals and rims -- or if the magazine art directors do it with photoshop?

    in most pictures i know the blue is very light, kind of a "boy's baby blue". in some pictures though (mostly UK magazines like evo and car) the blue is quite luscious (and better looking IMO).

    There was a blue GT3RS at Spa last weekend. IMHO the color looks a lot better than on the pictures you posted but it's not as dark as at the older RS models.

    you cant expect the colours to come out the same in every photograph/etc published -

    some may have passed through filters, some may have been photocopied, etc... and theres always photoshop!

    plus, its a pain in the ass to take a really good picture of porsches colours to convey the full depth of the colour, unless your a pro! (like bob C. on ppbb, props bob! love your work)

    for example, i have over 3000 photos of my car, and they all look different, and only 5-10 look very 'right' (guards red)

    Re: GT3 RS blue decals -- color saturation differences?

    I had a blue one on order until I saw one in the flesh...

    It is a very very pale blue, and IMO, not a very good colour combination. Mind you the red can look a bit pink at times...

    Heard an interesting story from a "reliable sourse" as too why the colour changed from the dark blue of the early promo shoots to the light blue of production.

    It was done to match the blue seat belts they had in stock...

    No wonder they are the most profitable car company in the world...

    Or was the "dark blue of early promo shoots" just poor color reproduction when the photos were printed?

    Possibly.

    Can't remember which way around it is but the original blue was going to be Mexico and got changed to Maritime or visa versa.

    I have some pictures from Porsche which showed the GT3RS with VERY dark blue wheels no stripes though.

    It was this colour which I ordered originally but after seeing Ulfs car and others I became a sheep and went with the Red.

    P.

    Lik ethomas, I saw the blue RS at Spa.
    It is somewhat darker than the pale one. Indeed boy baby blue. I'll post a pic of it later.

    I passed Zuffenhausen this Monday. On the ground I could see around 15-20 new RS. All of them have been red.

    This blue color on GT 3 RS is an old Porsche color and called "riviera blue" .
