What is the paint code for Porsche Pale Blue Metallic?

Pale Blue Metallic has carried Porsche paint code R5H. 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 Pale Blue Metallic?

Our sources list Pale Blue Metallic on the Taycan Turbo GT (2025, limited edition only) and Taycan (all versions) (2025–, 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 Pale Blue Metallic a Paint to Sample color?

Our sources list Pale Blue Metallic as a limited edition only and 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 Pale Blue Metallic may be a PTS order.

Pale Blue Metallic vs Frozen Blue Metallic: what's the difference?

Both are pale Taycan metallics. Frozen Blue Metallic (K5J) has been offered since the 2019 launch and has a cooler, icier tone. Pale Blue Metallic (R5H) arrived in 2024 with the Turbo GT and sits in Porsche's Legends group. It is a softer, warmer heritage-style pastel.

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