It's the kind of colour where the owner would climb out with a small dog inside her handbag.

Clearly you know nothing about racing heritage ranging back to the 60's, where the pale blue's dominated and were always associated with full fledged race cars. Even current F1 cars (Gulf McLaren livery in Monaco). |

("How close is BMW M "Zandvoort Blue" (C6E) to Porsche "Gulf Blue" (328) ?") |
Also worth noting Gulf owns the blue, so it's not a Porsche owned color. Also they have evolved their blues over the years so there are dozens of versions of "Gulf Blue" |
BMW name their color palettes from random regions throughout the world, so I'm guessing "Zandvoort" here is derived from the municipality in the Netherlands?
