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.









L97B Anacona Blue Metallic



L96B Alaska Blue Metallic






L96E Gemini Blue Metallic




Gemini Thread

Stock Colors by Year

914 Paint Colors Website

And the winner is Honda B97M which is similar to metallic adriatic. We have just painted the interior- more pictures to follow.



Thread pictures here.

Entry in this thread.

I'm color blind but I voted anyway... you can't go wrong.. and you should do what YOU like...

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....

I vote for Olympic Blue.

Mexico blue... Favorite

Alaska blue = brilliant! It just doesn't get any better...actually, that Gemini BM is quite nice too!

My favorite is Adriatic blue.

I vote Lowenbrau blue

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.

My $.02

My '73 is " '86 Earl Scheib Smurf 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:

This is my favorite of all Porsche blues....Cobalt blue

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!

Marathon Blue!

Stock I would say Olympic

But for Porsche overall I am partial to Minerva blue. Best I can tell it came out in 76 making it extremely unlikely to be a custom order for a 914.

Here is my 924 in it, and Magnus has a 930 in it as well.

If Magnus Walker likes it, it must be good!

Damn skippy

Of the original colors listed, I like marathon. Of the original 914 blues, I do like Adriatic. And with no restrictions on choice it has to be Mexico blue. Check out a new Lamborghini color - bluchephos blue. Similar to Mexico or Voodoo with a bit of milk blended in -stunning

Glacier Blue - a little darker than Mexico Blue. A 72-73 911 color.

I'm biased, but Bali Blue is my new favorite.
My 356 was originally this color, but the PO painted it black at some point.
I'm saving up pennies for Scotty to repaint it back to Bali Blue:

My SC was Arrow Blue, certainly a top choice in my book.

This photo seals the deal, as far as I'm concerned…..

That car deserves a scotty b paint job.

Alaska Blue. Color of our '73 VW 412 I learned to drive in.

Wow, that is nice!!!!! Photo Here

Alaska Blue Metallic! I love that color

Need more pictures!

My first Porsche (993 C4S in Turquoise Blue)

Regret selling it every day!

Adriatic or Alaska with white interior ...

How about L50C Lagoon Blue!

Dark, dark, dark, blue. It's so dark blue, it actually looks black.

I'm biased towards Alaska Blue (but this pic was shot in the shade on a tired paint job).

One more..

Tomorrow is the big day to select the paint. It's got to be something similar to that ice blue 911. Alaska Blue is very nice, but the dark paint tends to make the 914 disappear. I think a 914 needs a bright color, and all small cars for that matter. I love Marathon Blue and Anacona Blue. Keep posting photos...

It has to be Midnight Blue ! going to paint my project car this colour to .....

You might consider my wife's Odyssey - real nice "light" blue. Is your car for your wife? It would be perfect then...

PS: Also, below is another picture - you may not be able to see it but there IS ('cause its Alaska Blue) a 914 in it!

Seriously, enjoy whatever you choose and never look back!

Adriatic Blue!

I agree with Adriatic Blue with white interior too.
Local friend used to have one that was GREAT and it looked fantastic!

I've been looking at a couple 911 and a Cayman,one that is listed as Cobalt blue and much darker than the one pictured below,- one looks very light, this one looks more light . 911 is listed as lapis blue, the cayman as Cobalt, but they look the same - do they vary that much depending on lighting?
