Brightest blue Porsche color code

[Mark Killar]

Does anyone know what the brightest blue paint name and code number Porsche ever used for a body color?

[Fishcop]

Some people on this board have refered to my colour as "Fishcop Blue"

As much as I'd like to take credit for it, Dr Ing. Porsche owns the rights to this colour and calls it "Arrow Blue" I'm at work at the moment and do not have the code. If this is the sort of colour you are chasing email me and I'll get you the code .

Cheers

or Mexico Blue 336, back in '74



There was also 1967/8 Ultra Blue R5013 , 1966 Aga Blue 6608, 1965/5 Bali Blue 6412, 1970/1 Albert Blue 1818 and Turqoise 6565

How about Adriatic Blue as seen on the 914-6 on page 118 of Excellence #94 (June 2000). It seems to be very similar to the "Fishcop Blue" shown above. I don't have the code handy but I believe that it was a 914 color. I was planning on using it when I repaint my car.

The original baltic blue was bright, a bit like "everready battery blue". Don't know if it was the brightest

[Jdub]

Well for the metallic I'd have had to say "Minerva Blue" which is pretty darn bright, but that Arrow Blue (for a non-metallic) is really quite loud!

I love that blue too, but it's pretty rare. I've only seen it couple time here in L.A.

Amir, I believe it to be Riviera Blue. Paintcratch lists its code as: 39E/S8. ( 1996 ) There was a turbo that color on ebay a few days ago but just checked and auction must be over. Saw Jerry driving his blue turbo s on pch about a year ago... nice car, I pulled up beside him and made "you wanna go" motions, but he wanted nothing to do with me..( was in a Tercel rental) max

found it,still on auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2156170524&category=4150

what do you mean by "brightest" - do you want max. saturation? or tone or ...? I'll bet you could outdo Fishcop if you spent some time with a color wheel at a paint supplier's store...
