Default Color check...Prussian blue ?
Can someone ID this color.....I thought it was Prussian Blue, however, after googling the color Prussian Blue looks much darker...so I'm kinda stumped.

My first guess, venetian blue. But maybe petrol blue. These blues change a lot with different lighting, cameras, and monitors so Prussian may not be wrong.

Prussian Blue is a VERY dark navy blue. This car looks much closer to Venetian but Porsche used several similar shades of medium metallic blues over the years.

Whatever color it is, that is a beautiful Porsche!

I'm guessing Venetian or Petrol as well.

If you're into blue Porsches, you might find this link interesting:

From the blue thread mentioned.

Petrol Blue metallic. Pretty sure that's it.

I'm not an expert on all the Porsche blues, but it does look similar to my car which is venetian blue.

Looks to me like the Venetion blue has more green in it.

I still think it's Petrol Blue. I opened a window for each car and overlaid the three cars.

Shannon123, I wish modern cars had such classy colors. I think the venetian blue is such a unique color that no modern car has or can duplicate.

Venetian is a terrific color, probably my favorite 911 blue. My own 911 is Prussian blue, and as mentioned above it is much darker. Nice color too, but I prefer Venetian.

IIRC Petroil was even darker yet. Almost black.
