LOL. If I remember from the book, the original turbo 917's were tested in marine blue, but they were too fast - and Porsche Motorsport had serious concerns that it would have been banned before the end of their racing season. The hue was dialed up to a Gulf Blue in order to keep the car from being too fast.
