The Stunning Porsche Miami Blue Color

The incredible Miami blue color from Porsche has been iconic in the world of cars, and even motor racing, for about 15 years. And unfortunately, it may look like it is coming to an end. At least that’s what the rumor mill has been saying for a while now.

Is the Miami blue color coming to an end? Can a color even “end”? And what will Porsche be releasing to placate the Porsche fans who have seen the Miami blue color long associated with Porsche and Porsche racing as a fundamental part of the brand? This handy blog post is going to cover all of that and more.

Background Info For The Miami Blue Color From Porsche

The Miami blue color from Porsche was, quite accurately, named after the light but deep blue that is associated with Miami. Whether it’s the Miami surf, the Miami Dolphins, or the pastel-colored houses that fill Dade county Porsche has really hit the nail on the head here.

It is well established that the Miami blue color from Porsche is one of the best steps Porsche has taken to modernize their brand and move away from the classics that are silver, yellow, and black. The Miami blue color is designed to make the commute less boring, the track day more thrilling, and to turn the head of everyone you pull up alongside at the traffic lights. And it does so wonderfully.

What Models Of Porsche Have Used The Miami Blue Color

Miami blue has been used by Porsche since 2013 and has only recently been announced that it will be removed from circulation (for future models – don’t worry they aren’t going to hunt down pre-existing Porsches to get their paint back).

• Porsche Race Cars (including LeMans 24-hour race) – 2013
• Porsche 911 – 2017-2021
• Porsche Boxster – 2018-2022
• Porsche Cayman – 2018-2022
• Porsche Macan – 2019-2023

The Miami Blue Color Code – Can It Be Replicated?

Now, Porsche may have begun to phase out their Miami blue color (ending with the next year) but that doesn’t mean this paint will be impossible to get. Well, sort of. Porsche has released the color codes for the Miami blue color which means that it is technically for body shops and savvy individuals to re-create the Miami blue we have all grown to know and love.

Now, it won’t technically be the official color. But it will be pretty darn close. Pretty darn close meaning it’s identical but Porsche didn’t make it. If you choose to divulge that fact to people who ask, fair enough. But no one will be able to tell unless you tell them.

The color code for the Miami blue color from Porsche is: M5C

How Rare Is The Miami Blue Color?

The Miami blue color isn’t super common. As we mentioned above, there are only 5 different vehicles in the world you can get it on. But there are about 20 models in total and it’s not like any of them were limited editions or anything crazy like that. Unless you count the race cars.

However, given that the color has now been discontinued by Porsche it is only going to become rarer and rarer. Watch out as over the next 5 to 10 years Porsches that came in the Miami blue color become rarer and more coveted. Who knows, they may even start to demand a huge price simply because of their color. But no one can know for sure and buying a Porsche purely for the Miami blue color with the intention to flip it for profit is not a sound business decision!

When Did The Miami Blue Color Become Unavailable?

The Miami blue color from Porsche was discontinued towards the end of 2022. Even people who had ordered their Porsche, signed the contract and picked the color, may have retroactively had their car’s color changed. It is not uncommon to hear people complaining to Porsche that they wanted the old Miami blue color not whatever the new color they replace it with will be.

The last vehicle to use the Miami blue color was the Porsche Macan as they technically will still allow you to choose it for vehicles being delivered next year. However, some people are starting to see their orders changed to the new blue. Which is bound to peeve a few people off before this whole ordeal is behind us. Are lawsuits on the horizon? More likely just some refunds.

What Did Porsche Replace The Miami Blue Color With?

Porsche hasn’t released the new Miami blue color alternative yet. Chances are they are hoping to transition quietly coming into the new year before they make major announcements about what it might be. According to some first-hand reports of Porsche dealerships explaining the last-minute adjustments on Porsche owner-to-be’s contracts the new blue that replaces the Miami blue (yes it’s still going to be blue) is almost identical. Note the word almost. It’s bound to be somewhat different, but only time will tell just how different it will really be.

Conclusion

So, will the successor to the iconic Miami blue color from Porsche live up to the very high standards Porsche owners and fans have set out for the brand? Probably not. At least not at first. If Porsche simply discontinued the blue with the desire to start releasing new colors that would be one thing but outright replacing it? That’s a mistake.

It is just going to upset people and there really is no need. The Miami blue color is so quintessentially Porsche that it is almost like trying to pass off another brand as their own. Why move away from the classics? Would Ford give up their Ford blue? Ferrari their red? No. They wouldn’t.

Bright and vibrant or restrained and understated? Over the decades, Porsche exterior paint colours have come from across the broad spectrum – and today, with Porsche Paint To Sample Plus, you can now opt for any that you want. But what have been the most iconic Porsche colours down the years? We find out which hues have made the greatest multi-coloured mark on the Porsche universe.

Guards Red

Boldly standing out in the Porsche colour palette, Guards Red has stood the test of time. It first appeared on the legendary Porsche 911 (930) Turbo in 1975. It’s a shade that highlights every line of the magnificent bodywork of the 930, accentuating its head-turning silhouette. Here, more than ever, it’s a red that evokes sheer speed and powerful performance. It’s a colour that has adorned generations of Porsche sportscars ever since and continues to paint the town red to this day on the likes of the 911 GT3 and 911 Carrera. Its name boasts a touch of royalty, drawing inspiration from the colour of the uniforms worn by the soldiers who guard British kings and queens.

Racing Yellow

Here’s a Porsche exterior colour that’s been a mainstay for years. Up until 2012 it was called Speed Yellow before a subtle rebrand into the name we know it as today – Racing Yellow. Bright without being blindingly so, warm without being searing, it’s a hue that illuminates every Porsche model that it dresses. Racing by name, and racey by nature, the shade has a particular affinity with the very sportiest of Porsche numbers, like the track-focused 718 Cayman GT4. Whatever the weather, the sun never goes down on this shining beacon of Porsche paint power.

Irish Green

Shades of green have had a history with Porsche as far back as 1964 – Irish Green was one of the first colours that the 911 was ever painted in. Ferry Porsche himself ensured that his own cars were painted in a select number of verdant hues – like Oakgreenmetallic, Emeraldgreenmetallic or Brewstergreen. Today his son, Wolfgang Porsche, cites Irish Green as his favourite Porsche colour, and has several cars finished in this colour that his late father so loved. In 2017, a landmark Porsche moment saw the one-millionth 911 roll off the production line more than half a century after the first one was built. Given the love for it from the Porsche family themselves, was it any wonder that lush Irish Green was its colour of choice?

Miami Blue

Life’s a beach when there’s a Miami Blue Porsche by your side. A tribute to the warm, cobalt-coloured waters that hug Florida’s coastlines, there’s nothing garish or neon to see here – only shades that conjure up dreams of sitting by the ocean. First used on the 911, it has gone on to enhance the exteriors of the Boxster, Cayman and Macan ranges. It continues to be one of the most popular and charismatic Porsche exterior colours available, even among the myriad shades of blue that Porsche offers. Whether at the height of summer or in the depths of winter, it’s a real head-turner.

Lava Orange

Bringing back retro vibes is this orange that packs real colour appeal. The flaming impact of Lava Orange is often emphasised with slick black and silver accents on the vehicles it is painted in. It’s something of a chameleon. Depending on the light and angle from which it’s viewed, it can be deep orange with hints of red at one point, at others more of a light tangerine. Porsche offered at least one shade of orange throughout the 1960s and 1970s, up until around 1978. And then, abruptly, orange disappeared from the Porsche colour chart for almost two decades. Thankfully, it made a volcanic comeback in the late 1990s in the form of Lava Orange. Used since on a wealth of Porsche 911 GT3 RS (Type 997) models, as well as the latest generation of 911 GT3 and Boxster vehicles, this is an orange that’s a welcome portion of any Porsche lover’s five-a-day.

Crayon/Chalk

Fancy moving on from countless shades of grey? For many hearts that beat with Porsche passion, it comes down to just one simple and elegant choice. Crayon grey is far from outlandish, yet it’s certainly not one to blend into the background either. Light and sleek, it picks out every curve and line of the Porsche car that wears it. You might call it understated cool. A nod to Porsche colours of the 1950s and 1960s, like Pearl Grey and Heron Grey, Crayon is today one of the most popular choices for owners. Whether adorning 911 Turbo S, Macan or Taycan Cross Turismo, it’s all grey matter where Crayon is concerned

Carrara White Metallic

Clean lines deserve clean shades, and Carrara White Metallic is just the ticket. No, that’s not a typo – this is nothing to do with the 911 Carrera, named after the famous Mexican road race, the Carrera Panamericana. Instead, this colour is named after a type of white marble that originates from the Italian town of Carrara in Tuscany. From soft grey to almost blinding white, its complexity may come as a surprise when inspecting the tints from every angle. Its purity gives vehicles an instantly timeless look, which is why it remains a popular choice for new owners. This Porsche exterior colour can be spotted across the model range, whether 911, hybrid Panamera or, particularly strikingly, on the all-electric Taycan models.

Carmine Red

The second – but by no means less impactful – red on our list has a particular affinity for the GTS models in the Porsche range. Carmine Red seems to evoke the powerful intensity of those three letters. It speaks of performance and yet also the everyday usability of the GTS that awaits you in the driver’s seat. A deeper red in comparison to Guards Red, it is often paired with black trim and wheel rims to provide a slick contrast to this attention-grabbing shade. And yet, it isn’t just reserved for GTS models. It also harks back to classics like the Porsche 930 Coupe of the 1980s, continuing right up to the electric present in the form of the Taycan. Truly, a scarlet superstar.

After such vivid Porsche inspiration, it’s time to configure your ultimate Porsche. Of course, the Porsche palette doesn’t stop at just these eight iconic tones. With more than 150 additional colours, Paint To Sample options from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur allow every owner’s personality to be displayed on their vehicle. And when it comes to Paint To Sample Plus, specifying a totally bespoke colour will take you to colour infinity – and beyond.
