I've got the Blues

What's your favorite color for the Porscheru?

I've got it narrowed to these four with my favorite being Marathon Blue:

L96M Marathon Blue Metallic

Marathon Blue Metallic thread

I love this 911 color but I don't know the paint code. If anyone can tell me what it is I would greatly appreciate it. It is similar to Marathon Blue Metallic.
I see this color called glacier or ice in some combinations.

The 911 might be polar silver. I had a 993 that color and it was basically silver with a bluish yellow tint... again, color blind.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

My choice would be Adriatic Blue too, as long as you're going with a stock 914 color.

If it's a custom, I'd go Mexico Blue.

Colors can change under different lighting conditions but the "real life" color of Marathon Blue Metallic actually has more blue in it than the picture you've got there.
Here's the same Marathon Blue car from a different angle:

Not a 914 color, but always have liked Dalmatian blue on the early 911's.
In certain lights, it almost appears to have some purple in it.

I remember checking out and taking to the owner of the 916 at Laguna Seca in 1998. He was considering of selling it then....another could have should have moments similar to the GT that Seinfeld now owns.

I love Marathon Blue...my favorite.

Like it so much I have '85 targa...it is a paint to sample (paint code L999) car that looks very close to Marathon!
