Is this a Porsche blue?

[Rod.911S]

I've been through many posts about paint colours and have narrowed my car down to maybe Baltic blue or possibly Minerva. It was originally silver but was changed to blue around 1990 by a PO. I'm not sure if its even a Porsche colour - anyone recognize it?
Thanks,

that looks like petrol blue to me.

Rod,
Really tough to tell from your pic as the light is not even. Get it out of the shadows and retake the pic in the afternoon sun. Car looks sharp though.

'81 also had a "Pacific Blue"...could be that. There certainly are A LOT of blue colors in the early 80s. It very well could be an original color. It sure looks familiar...

Hi Rod,

I've seen this car in person and I always thought it was Petrol Blue, although I didn't realize it had been repainted. I almost bought that car myself

That Car is RED you guys are all color blind.

Whatever, it looks nice .

[Rod.911S]

Jeez, it better not be red.
Here's another shot that has better lighting. That's a RS America behind it.

that car looks great. I really like the color.

Did the car come from Weissach ? Call up Bill R. there, he would be able to tell you

Doesn' look like Minerva, but even with the second pic, it's still a bit hard to tell which (of the many) blue it is.

Here is Minerva Blue:




Here is Petrol blue:

I know both of those cars (in the photo with the RS America) I believe the car is question is a factory colour.

Thanks, guys, but from those pictures I'm thinking my car isn't Petrol or Minerva. I think it is a factory colour because the Porsche Parts and Technical Reference Manual for 1974-1989 has a '75 911S on the cover that looks pretty close to mine.

Peter Morgan's "Original Porsche" lists a couple of blues for '75 -- I wonder if Metallic Blue (334) is it?

[Shuie]

Its not 334 or 335

[rdane]

Nice color but as Sherman said not 334.

There are so many Porsche blues you could be looking a long time without a color code.
