Voodoo Blue (Z12), Voodooblau in German, is a strong, intense, non-metallic blue with hints of green that creates an electrifying, almost Caribbean-sea quality when seen in person. The hex of #295CA2 captures a medium-dark, saturated blue. Porsche's own documentation describes it as a strong, intense shade of blue and a modern interpretation of the classic colours Mexico Blue and Arrow Blue, noting that the name "voodoo" refers to the mystical and enchanting quality of the colour. The brand states it is a rich blue with hints of green that resembles the colours of the Caribbean Sea, known for its bold and vibrant appearance. It was originally associated with the 991 GT3 4.0 and the 718 Cayman GT4 RS as a communication colour for the latter, and entered the PTS catalogue from 2018 onward, appearing on 911, 718, Taycan, Macan, and Panamera platforms as a Z-series special paint code. The 2024 Porsche colour reference cross-reference also lists Z12 in the PTS colour listing for that year. With a rarity of two out of five, it is now well-established enough in the PTS programme to be regularly encountered.
