Blue Turquoise is a vivid, saturated pure turquoise solid — at #0088DF it reads more as a strong sky blue with green undertones than the greener teal side of turquoise, a clear, electric tone that sits between royal blue and true turquoise. The solid non-metallic finish gives it a flat, bold character that reads as very direct and confident. Blue Turquoise (Blautürkis, code 3AS) carries no confirmed standard production year range in the records. With three documented community examples it is among the rarer solid blues in the database. The vivid, uncompromising character of this color would make it a striking choice on any Porsche.
