Azure Blue is listed in the Stuttcars database as a solid blue entry, though its specific production details, paint code, and hex value are not confirmed in the current records. The name Azure Blue has appeared multiple times in Porsche's history — as a 1950s-era 356 color, as a distinct solid on transaxle-era models, and as the basis for the modern Azure Blue 356 PTS reinterpretation. Without confirmed paint code or production data, this entry likely references one of those historical occurrences. Research is ongoing — if you have documentation on a specific Porsche identified as Azure Blue that doesn't match another entry in this database, please contribute via the community submission form.
