Shades of Blue

[Eminence Gris]

I apologize if I missed it, but I just painted a car Gemini Blue Metallic.

And I'm now mixing to match a super-rare Turquoise #6464

Dalmation Blue/Oxford blue again. Color code 4848/4810, paint code 329.

Wow! Best color!

Beautiful RS. Looks French with the headlights.

Is it ok to post my own private non factory creation of blue? I named it Moon Blue.

Not a race car but fun in the mountains

Does anyone know what blue was used for the Carrera stripes on the 2.7 RS ?

Max,
I have color matched quite a few original paint RS blue wheels. I have not been able to find a Porsche color that matches. With all due respect to Randy and his source (probably the RS Bible), it is not Mexico blue. At least not the Mexico blue that we have seen on 74MY cars. Either there was something lost in the translation or the specifications referred to another "Mexico blue". Keep in mind the stripe color was introduced more than 12 months before the 74 car color............. And the main thing, it is no where near the color....I think the "Mexico blue" designation was probably in a vinyl book....Neat color though. More towards a signal blue if there was one?
