Whichever is the blue that is in this Top Gear film...great looking color for this Turbo.

For me though...Turbo needs to be white. Thats what I got so I'm surely biased! Whatever you get you are going to love...be sure of that!!

Great looking color indeed.

Don't have any baltic blue (colour to sample = extra few months wait) Turbos in my 1000s of Turbo pics collection but do have a few Midnight...

Yes, but the camera footage on the Topgear (and Fifth Gear for that matter) reviews don't give a true indication of Cobalt. Colbalt looks much darker in the footage than it does in real life...

Baltic is a very classy color... I actually saw that Carrera in Baltic (Euroclassics in Midlothian, VA). It looks gorgeous - like a slate blue.
