Quick Question regarding colour paint to sample

Hello, I have a quick question regarding colour paint to sample by Porsche's exclusive division.

I have a friend of mine who is looking to order a 997 Turbo within these few days and wants the 90's Horizon blue metallic. Whilst ordering do I have to hand a paint code/number or just tell the salesman the name of the colour and they will finalise the order.

Is horizon Blue paint code 37X?

Thank you in advance,

Horizon is stunning:



And yes, 37X is the factory code.

Mashkoor MKS, Thanks guys for the response.

Well we went to the dealership and had the car spec'd to my freinds wants.

All I can say is that I hope he enjoy's it and there is going to be many sleepless days ahead.

Thank you folks for the comments,

Now I just need your insight how do you think its spec'd?

Horizon Blue colour paint to sample "Porsche Exclusive"
Sea Blue full leather with Adaptive Sport seats + leather seatbacks
Telephone for PCM in Carbon fiber
Carbon fiber package + switch panel, rear centre console, door finishers and steering wheel
Speed yellow stitching all over the interior
Yellow Gauges/ Seat belts
Alluminium Y face for steering wheel
Carbon fiber illuminated door sills
Porsche crest on headrest and centre armrest
PCM in leather
Foot rest in sports look alluminium
Tiptronic S
Front lip, sideskirts and rear spoiler in ext colour.

I think thats about it and do you think it will look great, Our concept or scheme was after those highly spec'd 993 Turbo's, we were about to go for Gulf blue but Horizon blue was much more subtle and an everday colour.

When the car arrives, Turbo emblem smight be painted in Speed yellow or Gaurds red.
