You know I was thinking as I was reading you guys are crazy for having 641 blues. However I definitely see your point after clicking the links. These are entirely different colors, indeed.
There are (only) a couple dozen different blues Porsche has used over the years. The 641 total is because of how that site lists them by year and model line even though the paint code is the same across them.
It makes more sense when you realize that site's mainly used by autobody repair shops; they're searching by year and model first as manufacturers often use the same name even when it's not technically the same paint (different paint manufacturers, variations in formulation, etc.). That matters with repair work. But for what I was working on, it wasn't relevant.
