  • Graphite Blue is also a long-running Porsche interior leather colour, so not every 'Graphite Blue' in a spec sheet refers to the paint. [2]

Frequently asked questions

What is the paint code for Porsche Graphite Blue Metallic?

Graphite Blue Metallic has carried Porsche paint codes M5G; A7 (label short code). Porsche reuses names across eras with different codes, so match the code on the car's option sticker or build sheet rather than the name alone.

Which Porsche models and years came in Graphite Blue Metallic?

Our sources list Graphite Blue Metallic on the 911 (991.2) (2016–2019, standard color). If you see it on a model or year not listed, it may be a Paint to Sample order or a respray — the build sheet for the VIN shows which.

Is Graphite Blue Metallic a Paint to Sample color?

Our sources list Graphite Blue Metallic as a standard color rather than Paint to Sample. Porsche's Paint to Sample program can still apply many past colors to new cars, so a recent car in Graphite Blue Metallic may be a PTS order.

How can I tell if a Porsche is factory Graphite Blue Metallic?

Read the paint code on the option sticker (in the maintenance booklet and, on most models, in the front luggage compartment) or on a build sheet for the VIN, and compare it with M5G and A7. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
