Dark Blue Factory Colors

Looking for photos and opinions on factory dark blue Porsche colors. After I finish up my rust work it’s off to paint but I’m stumped on the color.

Picks so far are:
- Marine Blue Metallic
- Prussian Blue
- Venetian Blue Metallic
- Dark Blue
- Baltic Blue Metallic

I think Marine Blue is the ticket. I have a flaw that I see purple in most darker blues but not so much this one. Interior is dark brown leather with tan square weave carpet.

Any dark blues I’m missing? Photos? Thanks all!

Are you open to other makes? Mercedes has a very dark, deep metallic navy blue that is beautiful.

Marine Blue in direct sun can flash a little purple. That’s why I love it.

Midnight Blue. Looks black in the shade, but pops in the sun

My SC is Midnight blue. As above - dark but pops in the sun to reveal a nice colour.
Looks a bit darker than Marine Blue.
Can take a pic in sunlight tomorrow.

I personally like Dunkel Blue too but it’s not a metallic.

Beautiful cars! I really think dark blues just work with the G Body cars. Marine Blue is stunning....

If you are willing to go old-school, check out Aga Blue on Rennbow.

First time I saw a 911 in Aga Blue I was literally stopped in my tracks...
