Ipanema Blue (Ipanemablau) is a vivid, saturated cyan-turquoise at #16ADC8 — an intense, almost tropical blue that reads as neither conventional blue nor green but occupies the distinctive turquoise territory that evokes both the colour of sun-lit Caribbean water and the visual energy of Rio de Janeiro's famous Ipanema district. Its hex value confirms this: it is an assertive, high-chroma teal that carries the same DNA as Ipanema Blue Metallic but without the metallic flake, appearing as a solid finish on the Cayenne and Taycan from 2021 to present. The Ipanema Blue family is inspired by the colourful and lively atmosphere of the Ipanema district in Rio de Janeiro — a two-kilometre-long sandy beach and surrounding neighbourhood known globally for its vibrancy and South American character. Two documented community examples reflect its modern PTS or special application status, making it among the most recently introduced entries in the database's current catalogue.
