Can anyone identify this color?
I took a photo of this beutiful Speedster last Sunday at the Americana Concours on Long Island. I think the color is called Aqaumarine Blue Metallic. Can anyone confirm this?

I think it may be Adria Blue Metallic - the Aquamarine Blue Metallic is lighter.

Interestingly, I have a book on 356s by James Schrager, and in his list of colors, there's no mention of Adria Blue. In fact, the only metallic blue listed for any year 356 is Aquamarine (1957 only).

Here's a photo of an Adria Blue Speedster on theire web site. This is definitely a lighter than the Aquamarine Speedster on their web site.

Very nice, but it does look a bit lighter than the one I photographed. Here's a photo of someone's 1957 coupe from the 356 Registry that is identified as Aquamarine. Interestingly, yours looks lighter than this one too. I guess the exposure and lighting can vary the look of this color.
