Anyone familiar with this color blue? Name, color code or years it was used on coupes? Still trying to decide on the color I will use for my roller coupe Greg is preparing for me. Will be posting a thread as soon as it arrives. Appreciate any help on identifying this color!

Photos and light make it difficult to know what the actual color is I recommend you cruise a few new car dealers on a Sunday and pick an actual new car color and the window sticker will have the paint name too
U can search Porsche paint codes for any year..google
That’s aquamarine metallic, but I don’t know the color code. It’s a period correct color for the 356A.

Paint Code #5607
This should be put in the resources or library folder or wherever it would fit best:
@Lane Anderson: Michelle and I saw an FJ Cruiser in Voodoo Blue today, and we both liked it. Still a possibility?
That is the color I am painting my Spyder. Very close match to 1955 French Blue. Also almost indistinguishable from Rustoleum Sail Blue.
@AllnuttS - as usual, @Robert M is right about the color! Be careful when you communicate the color, as Aquamarine metallic is a 1956 color -- and is DIFFERENT from Aquamarine, which is a non-metallic color from 1957 (which is darker and almost more sea-blue green).
My buddy John sells paint samples; he has collected these from original paint cars and lots of research.

I swear I replied to this but I don’t see it. Anyway, voodoo blue is a cool color but perhaps a bit bright for me. It’s on the list, though.
Good, paves the way for me if I get a Super Coupe......

I can definitely see a bright blue (yellow or even orange) on a small car --- simply for road safety. Grey, Black, dark blue and silver tend to blend in with the road and are hard for us old folks to see clearly.
I believe mine is 1957 Aquamarine blue
Check out Dodge B5 blue. Most manufacturers have a similar color.
