Turquoise

Turquoise (340), Türkis in German under codes 6464, 21M, and 340, is a vivid, saturated non-metallic blue-green that takes direct inspiration from the gemstone of the same name. The hex confirms a medium-bright, balanced teal — genuinely halfway between blue and green, with a clarity and freshness that distinguishes it from the deeper aquas and darker teals in the Porsche palette. Rennbow notes it is often mistaken for Gulf Blue but is notably greener and darker, and confirms it was available on the 911 in model years 1970 and 1971. The colour shared cross-references with VW Group codes in use at Karmann's Osnabrück factory, consistent with the broader group colour-sharing of that period. Despite its visual appeal, Rennbow rates it five out of five for rarity, indicating that virtually no buyers chose it at the time — only a handful of early 911s in Turquoise are known to survive, making them objects of significant collector interest among those who appreciate the brief, vivid chapter of Porsche's early-1970s colour story.
