Hmmm ... maybe. The owner of that particular 51 coupe posted this comment and that picture when someone asked what '51 Azure Blue looked like:
"My 1951 Porsche is painted Azure blue... for reference"
I can tell you, every picture I see of Azure looks a bit different depending on lighting, camera exposure/settings etc. ... I suspect the Boxster color is a new interpretation.

After doing some quick research on the web, it appears the color of the 51 is a VW color called Azure Blue which looks like it matches. The Porsche color of Azure Blue is definitely Navy and does not have that much green in it.

Thanks Jäger! Didn't really get to chat with you at concours but your speedster. My C2S is nothing compared to yours haha. ... I actually saw you zoom past me at Hyatt today when I just got back from the gimmick rally .... looks even more epic when it's in motion!

Vince-- Your 993 looks terrific standing still. I'm glad you shared it with us at Concours & glad you're enjoying driving it, too! Big thanks for the incredibly kind words re: 'Speedy.'
From spotless, glistening 993s that you & others had at Parade, I was floored by how gorgeous RLers' cars are. IMHO, JPP & TwinTurbo959's Speedsters are amazing, I could look at them all day
...& I totally agree: 993s look epic in motion; that's part of the reason I try to get to driving events like Parade

Ted-- Wanted to publicly thank you for helping with personally helping me with my recent foglight install.

You were also insightful with the LEDs I purchased from RLer Tore, too.

It's been less then a week since being there, but what a trip down memory lane.

Thanks for posting the pics.
