Does anyone have pictures to compare Adriatic Blue with an Albert Blue car? Are they the same?
Thanks

16 Adriatic Blue
18 Albert Blue
Albert blue was not used on the 914
these are the Porsche codes used on the 911 and 914/6 as in 1610 and 1810, so they are different colors

I know Albert was a 911 color. I was hoping someone had pictures fo both to compare. My 914 is Adriatic blue, buut I am considering Mexico Blue & Abert Blue.

Here is Riviera Blue, which my understanding is the same as Mexican Blue. I picked up a pint of two stage paint to shoot part of my car with to see if I'm gonna stick with it for my color selction.

It's just primered at this time, I want to paint the rockers first to make sure that I'm gonna like the color, sometimes the color can look diferent on the computer compared to the actual car.

Dave,
How come the picture in my collection looks a little greyer than the blue Porsche that Gustl just posted? Were you really the one that took the picture I have?

If you got it from the Bird site, then it is almost certainly my photo. (A quick Google tells me that the location certainly appears to be the church parking lot where I was manning a Rally check-point in '04, a little ways outside Fort Worth. So yeah, I'm pretty sure that's my pic!)
Colors can be different depending on a wide variety of factors. For instance, the day I took those pictures it was quite grey--it rained hard on us about half an hour after the pic, in fact!
Also, my camera doesn't seem to be the best at capturing vivid colors. I've noticed a distinct difference between my pics of some things and at least one other person's.
...And so on.

I'm pretty sure that I got it off the Bird's site...
When I paint the car, I think I'll schedule it on a cloudy day.
Thanks Dave
