WHICH Blue HUE Is This? Rare Porsche Color SPIED On The STREET — Can You Successfully Name It?

Agent 001 was running errands around town this week and it's not uncommon for him to run across some interesting wheels. It is SoCal, after all. 

But this one stumped the both of us. Well, it stumped me, at least. 

Painted a rare Porsche color, this new 991.2 911 Carrera Cabriolet certainly stands out from the crowd. Frankly, I am not sure if it's a good or bad thing.

What I can tell you, however, is that this owner is committed and even went as far as to ensure the wheels were painted to match its not so common exterior color. 

After some digging, 001 found the color. It definitely a blue but note there's a bit of purple in there as well. That said, can you name this Porsche hue?

Sapphire Blue. Not for me really. But doing the wheels in the same colour is taking things just a bit too far in my opinion. But Vivre le Difference. If we were all the same, the world would be a pretty boring place to be.

It is most definitely not Sapphire blue, which is a standard colour. This is a paint to sample colour-could be Mexico blue but am thrown off by the two very different shades represented in the photos.

Indeed it is. Sapphire Blue seems to have more flake in the paint now that I have compared the two. Maritime blue seems more like a flat paint. Although, I don't know what is so Maritimey about that colour. It is certainly not reminder of the deep blue sea.

@AgentOOR - We should do this once a week. It is a fun game.

It’s cobalt blue.
Sapphire blue, doesn’t have as much of the purple tint to it
