89 Triton Blue Metallic is a dark, slightly teal-influenced blue metallic — at #526268 it reads as a complex dark blue-grey with a faint blue-green undertone that prevents it from settling into simple dark grey. Named after Triton, the Greek sea god, the color has a deep, oceanic quality appropriate to its mythological reference. Originating from the VAG Group shared palette, it is available on Porsche exclusively through PTS. The color's unusual teal-grey character makes it one of the more interesting alternatives to standard dark blue metallics in the current programme.
