Ultra Blue (R5013), Ultrablau in German under codes R5013 and 6827, is a solid, non-metallic medium blue with a balanced, pure character that sits between the darker Aga Blue and the lighter Albert Blue in Porsche's early 911 palette. The hex of #193276 confirms a notably deep, almost navy-leaning blue — darker than might be suggested by the "ultra" prefix, with a saturated but subdued presence. Rennbow describes it as a beautifully balanced medium blue that is subtle, elegant, and quietly distinctive, often mistaken for Albert Blue or Aga Blue by those unfamiliar with the nuances of the early 911 colour range. It was available on the 911 and 912 from 1966 through 1969, coinciding with the short-wheelbase era. The cross-reference to RAL 5013 — the German standard colour reference for Kobaltblau, a deep cobalt blue — gives the shade additional context and explains its rich, pure blue depth. With a rarity of four out of five, surviving SWB 911s and 912s in original Ultra Blue are genuine rarities on the early 911 market, prized by collectors who appreciate the quiet restraint of this shade.
