Default Rare color?

A few months ago I purchased a TUERKIS BLUE LM5M Porsche 944 S2.
I can't find this color in any of the Porsche books I own, although the color LM5M seems original and it's on the sticker in the trunk and service guide.
Has anyone else on this forum the same color?
I haven't seen it before....

I had a Subaru that Color!! ha ha


That color on a 944, Looks great!

Note: In general I don't like darker wheels on cars; but I would say this car would look really nice with dark grey wheels!! (Again you car is great; - this is Not a criticism,,, Just an idea..)

Thank you, I'm very happy with this car. I previously owned a Guards Red 944S and later a Guards Red 944 N/A.
I was looking for a black S2 when this one came by. It has a full dark blue leather interior, seat heating, airco and many more options.
The car was in Germany until 1996 then it moved to the Netherlands.

These 968 rims don't look bad, but they are not my favorite.
This weekend I will install a 968 hatch, perhaps I will buy other rims later this year.

That's gorgeous. Reminds me of the Jetstream Blue used on Corvettes.

This car was love at first sight for me. Even forgot to look at some critical things when I bought it.
I use the car every day to drive to my customers (124.274 mi a day at the moment) always with a big smile....

The local Porsche dealer couldn't give me any production numbers for this color.

Nice color! There are a few 944 S2 and Turbo's in this color, most of them are french cars. If you go to Classic le mans next year, you see atleast 3 or 4 cars in that color!

Hi all,
Just purchased a tuerkis blue 944 owned by a lady for the last 20 years , 88500 miles. Is it true there are only 8 RhD cars made in this colour.
Many thanks
Mark
