There is a famous Porsche 550 Spyder in a similar color which is often seen in Laguna Seca during the August Historic Racing days. But Porsche's current PTS 'Blue Francia' Color Code W29????? Suzy's old Alfa Romeo color could be as good a guess as any... Saludos, Eduardo Carmel .
When I saw the name, it reminded me of the 1971 Blu Francia Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 that my uncle owns (like the one in the picture). That's why I immediately linked it to the color on the PTS list. If you google the color, it's also the only color that shows up on various Alfa Romeos and Fiat Dino spiders.

Mexico blue is still my favorite but it's getting so much attention recently and becoming a little of the norm sadly. A few years ago, a Mexico Blue car was very rare. Now they are everywhere.

I went into this thread hoping to confirm I was going to order Mexico Blue....now I'm really confused.
They all look so great, especially the Speedster Blue which can't be ordered.

I was looking through the approved PTS list and found a color named Fountain Blue Metallic. I thought Aqua Blue took the cake for my favorite but FBM is really stunning. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Blu francia (AR342) is darker, I believe. That Alfa looks more like azzuro le mans (AR 348). I know it is listed online as a blu francia car but take a look at this le mans sample, (followed by blu francia). It looks more like the le mans sample to me. Having said that, blue varies so much with different lighting and is very difficult to capture accurately.

Default Atlas Grey

Though technically a grey, atlas has a lot of blue in it. Too bad it is not approved for PTS (why is this?), as it is one of the best colors I've seen on a Porsche. Almost a midnight blue:
