Laguna Blue (Lagunablau, code L50C) is a vivid, clean solid blue at #5DCEF2 — a bright, sky-saturated blue that reads as luminous and summery, with enough cyan in its base to lean toward turquoise without losing its identity as a confident mid-blue. Rennbow confirms it is a bright solid blue most commonly associated with the Porsche 914, and like many 914 colours, it originates from the Volkswagen colour palette rather than Porsche's own — describing it as nearly identical to the earlier 914 colour Olympic Blue and sharing visual similarities with Glacier Blue, with the name referencing Laguna Beach in Orange County, California. Touch-up paint records confirm code L50C on the 1975 model year across all Porsche models. Two documented community examples reflect the colour's rarity on surviving 914s, a model where paint quality and condition issues are common on the few original-paint examples that remain.
