Show me your Venetian Blues.......

I'm considering a new purchase which is Venetian Blue. From the pictures I've come across here the color seems a bit lifeless compared to some of the other darker blues like Prussian Blue and Marine Blue for example.

I was hoping that some Venetian Blue owners could post pictures of their cars and prove me wrong.

Thanks

In my opinion venetian blue is one of the nicest porsche colors and I am not bias as mine is silver. I searched for a VB coupe for some time but lost patience.. Here's one photo ........

In some light venetian blue can look a little washed out in pictures. It's one of the nicest colors in my opinion...I'm a little biased though. Here's a couple of my car.

Don,

Don't usually like polished Fuchs but they look great on your very nice car.

Thanks Jorian. Those pixs are a couple years old. The polished wheels were sold to another pelican a while back. The car has factory finish fuchs on it now.

I've been thinking about all black for my 7's and 9's. I think it looks really mean.

Looks like you have an interest in a 930 from NY...is it Venetian Blue? These pics are a couple of years old. I did just wax her a few weeks ago with P21S but no pics to show. It's a difficult color that doesn't "translate" well to a photo. But have a look at the difference with lighting. Is it grey? Silver? I've heard green but not often. See it live if you can and drive it!!

Edit: whoops, didn't realize these were all different sizes. In person, the color looks like a gunmetal grey. Grey, with shades of blue in it. Having Fuchs painted the same uncommon color is pretty neat, IMO.
