Here is a thread with some 70+ shades of blues on Porsches. Nogaro Blue is not one of them. It is possible that the Cayman shown in the first post is not Nogaro blue, could be Turquoise Blue.

I really think the color is awesome. Would have given it serious thought if I knew it was available, moreso if I could get it if it had the options I wanted and didn't have the pay the 4k (being a lot car). I prefer non-metallic paint, but the options are always limited (black, red, yellow and white), and I believe this true with this color.
I certainly would not repaint a car to change its color. To do it properly would be beyond the 4k from the factory and it would kill resale.

The Cayman S in the first post looks all the world like the Turquoise Blue of Jerry Seinfelds Porsche. The only way to know for sure is ask the dealer or the person who purchased the vehicle. (Color of vehicle confirmed to be Blue Turquoise 4 Sept 08)

OK, after some internet searching I have put together a bunch of blue Porsche pics and 1 BMW) of different but similar blue colors. Take a look.
Riviera Blue
Mexico Blue
Laguna Seca Blue BMW M3
Turquoise Blue
Adriatic Blue
Oslo Blue
The Adriatic Blue and Turquoise Blue cars are or were Jerry Seinfelds.
Take your pick of your favorites. Mine is Turquoise blue.
I am still of the belief that the Cayman that was posted in the first post is Turquoise Blue, does anyone have access to Walters Porsche to confirm?

The picture in the post is erroneously labeled Olso, if you read through the post later on the list of blue colors shows OSLO, like in Oslo, Norway.
That Torch Red is hot, would love to see a Cayman that color.

Regardless of what it's called, that Cayman is beautiful. I love bold non-metallic blues.

I talked with Peter at Walters Porsche in Riverside who orders many different colored (paint to order) cars for that dealership. He confirmed that this car is BLUE TURQUOISE.

Well, I'm glad I didn't know about it when I ordered my CS, or I would have HAD to pick that color, spend another $3800, and wait even longer than the interminable delivery time I did tolerate. (The wait, incidentally, made me grumpy as it was, causing a friend to send me the graphic that became my avatar. Beez commented that paint-to-sample has been known to add six to nine months. Ugh.)

Dave, that picture is of the same car I posted above as Adriatic Blue. In my internet searching, it was said this car is or was one of Jerry Seinfelds.
It is an '02 GT2
