Blue Metallic is a confident, medium-to-dark blue that despite being listed with the suffix "met." in the German name (Blau-met.) appears in the database as a solid finish — at #2A66A3 it reads as a pure, saturated mid-blue. The code 324 appears in Porsche's mid-period color records. With seven documented community examples it sits in the uncommon-but-visible range. The plain descriptive name indicates this was likely a catalog color from an era when color names were functional rather than evocative — a factory-ordered medium blue without the poetic naming conventions that would later characterize Porsche's palette. Note: database records indicate a possible inconsistency between the German name (metallic) and the listed finish (solid) for this entry.
