The UK guys from that mag hang out here and should be able to tell you. Did it look anything like that first picture in my post?

Eric:

The color I am looking for is darker, but the color you posted earlier looks great (what color code is that?)

Hopefully I can get the attention of the total 911 mag guys. Thanks!

The first shot is Horizon Blue. Stunning. 37X color code.

If you go back in this thread you'll see that this is a Gulf Blue GT that Porsche COULD still paint for the GTs,--but won't on the 997s. (I tried). Check out another thread on 997 Rennlist forum recently with initial posting by a Scotsman that shows a myriad of custom colors that Porsche is doing today for the 997.

Here is a link to a thread on Rennteam with 'different' colors, not all blue, but most are of 997's:

I used to own a 1980 911SC in light green metallic. Really a stunning color. Has anyone ever seen another Porsche in this color?

I recall an Ice Green Metallic from 1977-78. It's a stunning color.

Many years ago a guy was restoring an S in that color. The color is seen in the 1978 Porsche brochure.
