Alaska Blue Metallic is a deep, teal-inflected dark blue metallic with a complex, layered character — at #13657D it reads as a dark blue-green that references the cold, clear waters of the Alaskan coastline. The metallic finish adds depth and a subtle dimensional quality. Code L96B places it in the Porsche records without a confirmed standard production year range, suggesting a limited or special-order availability. One documented community car makes it among the rarest color entries in the database, and a correctly documented original example would be a genuinely unusual discovery.
