Olympic Blue

Olympic Blue (Olympiablau, code L51P) is a vivid, bright non-metallic solid blue with a distinctive pastel-adjacent quality — lighter and more open than navy or Mexico Blue, with the kind of clean, saturated brightness that evokes summer sports events and open skies. The hex places it in the bright, slightly turquoise-tinted light blue zone, giving it a quality closer to pool water or clear sky than to deep sea. Like virtually all 914 colors, Olympic Blue was drawn from the Volkswagen Group palette, originating as a VW color that was simultaneously available for the jointly developed and Karmann-assembled mid-engine platform. The name references the sporting associations of Olympic competition — a blue associated with international athletics, celebration, and summery energy. The color has been revived for the PTS catalog for current models, where it attracts buyers who want the vivid, uncompromised brightness of the 914-era palette on a contemporary Porsche. Rennbow's one-paint-can rating reflects its relatively broad production presence over the 914's run.
