Is Aqua Blue "the best colour seen on any car"?

[DJMC]

Clarkson described it as such in his Cayman S review, half way down here: http://www.driving.co.uk/car-reviews/the-clarkson-...

Not keen on the current Sapphire Blue, but as I'm looking for a 2013-ish car Aqua does come up. Not seen one in the flesh though, so those that have may be able to comment?

Otherwise I'm after a Cayman in Guards Red, or one of the Silvers (probably not Platinum). A blue Porsche doesn't really seem "correct"?

I guess I could have asked about Mahogany or Anthracite and someone would say it's the best!

Beauty in the eye... etc.

Nice combo with the light leather!

How much to respray my black Cayman to blue???

Cheaper to wrap it!

Gratuitous Aqua Blue photo!

That IS fabulous. Sapphire is OK but I prefer Aqua's more inky blue. Anyone have some good shots of an Aqua 981 Cayman?

Wasn't going to do this, but..............

Same wheels as the one I'm looking at too. I'd prefer Carrera S wheels, but it still looks pretty fantastic!

Have gone for a 2013 Aqua Blue 2.7 PDK with the same Classic 20" wheels as the photo above.

What swayed it was remembering a 987 Cayman I'd looked at a couple of years ago and thinking this too was Aqua. So I drove over to a dealer with an Aqua 911 for sale today and, yes, it's the same colour I recalled. So the deal is going ahead. Some other spec:

981 Cayman 2.7 PDK
Sports Chrono + DTM
PSE
PCM
Sport Design wheel
Black Partial leather Sport Seats
Bluetooth
Cruise
Heated Seats
Rear Park Assist

That's the basic spec. Collect in about a week, after 111 point check at OPC.
