Frequently asked questions

What is the paint code for Porsche Meissen Blue?

Meissen Blue has carried Porsche paint code 5703 (356-era code; vendors also list it for current Paint to Sample). 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 Meissen Blue?

Our sources list Meissen Blue on the 356 A (1958, standard color), Taycan (2022–, paint to sample) and 911 (992) (2026, paint to sample). 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 Meissen Blue a Paint to Sample color?

Yes, on some cars: our sources list Meissen Blue as Paint to Sample on the Taycan and 911 (992). Paint to Sample is Porsche's extra-cost program for pre-approved colors outside the standard palette.

How can I tell if a Porsche is factory Meissen Blue?

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 5703. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
