No we wouldn't :hand:
Dark Blue Metallic is a 997 Porsche colour in its own right. It's 'deep metallic blue' that doesn't exist.

I hadn't heard of Dark Blue Metallic until pzero bought his first 997 GT3. I think it might have superseded Midnight as I can't recall a Gen2 997 in that colour.
Similarly I've never seen a Gen2 997 in Cobalt. It seems that Aqua and Sapphire replaced it.
Until I saw a Gen1 997T in Lapis last year I'd assumed it had gone away with the 996.
It seems like colours changed with the Gen2 997. :dont know:
