W8MM:Anybody know what color blue is the F-series 911 @ 0.30 in the Youtube S/T promo?
Initially, my vote was for Oslo as well but I assumed that the color grading of the film was throwing us off. And indeed, it is Golfblau:

I thought it might be Golfblau 6603. Too bad it's not available for PTS.
Thanks so much for all who contributed
Now, I'll have to find a close substitute. Turquoise Blue?

Ferdie:Obviously, the car has been displayed in the Porsche Museum before:
Below is current PTS Golf blau:
In any event, it has to work with the Heritage black/cognac interior:

Be very careful with turquoise blue, it is neither blue nor green, and you should see it in the metal before trying to pair it with your chosen interior… ultimately I think turquoise will disappoint you.

Thanks for the warning. I don't want my decision to be based on web photos. My dealer is having some metal panels sprayed with each of the possibilities to pair with their black/cognac upholstery samples. That should be more realistic. Also, my oldest daughter has a university degree in art and is a color fanatic. She'll help, too.

Porsche has a wonderful catalog of blue they had used, it's really too bad they don't put everything on the PTS catalog, unless one go for PTS+ or whatever they called it now.
Seems like Mike wants a non-metallic blue.
What about Etna? Or Maritime which is more saturated and carries a purple hue?
Another thing is, the pic Ferdie posted for the Museum one is too exposed and too bright.
In this context, Maritime is closer in colour.
PCA has a wonderful website on Porsche colours.

How about Narwhal Blue?
see link below for a 992 GT3 rs in that color (wrapped though)

Porsche, separates Le Mans from Le Boys
3mph:Arrow blue is available through PTS and is a great non-metallic medium blue. Just another suggestion
I have some (9) paint frogs being sprayed and Arrow is among the colors.
Albert blue, Club blue, Voodoo blue, Arrow blue, Spencer Davis Golf 6603 blue (for YouTube intro reference), Irish green, Oak green metallic, and ........ Willow green (suggested by my artsy daughter).
Mein Deutsch ist schlecht so I use YouTube auto-translated sub-titles to watch this:
I discovered that Porsche has made some aerodynamic adjustments to allow the rear spoiler to automatically raise at 75 mph instead of the normal 50 mph and automatically stow at 65 mph so as not to tip off USA constables that one is having too much fun on back roads. Fabulous!

Mike - those are all nice colors I'd probably choose Irish among those, but no losers in the bunch...

The short term metric to see if this is effective is to see what ADM transacts…I believe Porsche should employ this for all GT models. The pushback from some dealerships will be very hostile.
