Jason: I think have the answer to this mystery. The Club Coupe was the anniversary car. That car had a special shade of Azurro Blue. And I believe that special shade is officially called "Anniversary". Here's a few pics of a couple Club Coupes and these pics appear to be the same color as the in the OP's pics, just in different lighting and at a better resolution and contrast. I bet if you boosted the contrast and saturation on the OP's pic it would look very much like the last CC pic I posted. I'm guessing the OP's pic is from a cell phone.

From the OP:


For more information see: http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/911_club_coupe.asp

"The 911 Club Coupe’s most visual exterior feature is its distinguishing Azurro California color. This paint color is a modern interpretation of azure blue, a color made popular on Porsche 356 sports cars when the PCA was founded 50 years ago. The rear portion of the standard center console is also painted in Azurro California. As an option, the backs of the sport seats can be painted in this striking metallic blue color, as well."

I think this site was wrong in calling it Azurro. Technically, it's Anniversary. But you get the idea. They came up with a whole new color for the Club Coupe that is more blue and less silver than Azurro.

 

Well done gentlemen!! This is all "Eye Candy" to me because I have blue eyes...

 

You are welcome. Thanks for all the pics of the blues.

 

Estoril Blue Metallic-WOW. This one I would love to se in person!

 

Might as well get the rest of the blues in this thread.


Lapis


Midnight (the U-Boat)


Mexico


Cobalt

 

U Boat, thanks for clearing that up. I think I had confused Merdian grey with Zenith Blue. And also thanks for helping clear up the confusion regarding Azzuro and Anniversary blue. The funny thing is that a local PCA member has the anniversary 997 coupe and he called it Azzuro blue when I saw it.


And that reminds me, there was one more beautiful shade of blue that was built to order. I saw it when I was at the Nurburgring last year. Absolutely STUNNING in person.






Wakeboard blue


Is this Adriatic blue?

 

Wow, I always thought your cab was Lapis Steve!

 

I think that's because it's just a special shade of Azurro, the magazines call it Azurro and Porsche may have even referred to it as Azurro in marketing materials.

 

BTW, that 968 does look like it's Adriatic, but it's difficult to be sure. Here's another pic of Seinfeild's Adriatic GT2:

 

BTW, somebody should probably change the name of this thread to the "Blue Porsche Thread" or something similar. As I said earlier, it would be really cool if we could have a bunch of different threads dedicated to different Porsche colors (e.g., red, yellow, silver, black, etc.).
