    Catalog of Porsche Greens

    Been reading a few threads on the colors that go on our cars --- blues, reds, even one on maroons.

    When it comes to car purchases, color has a bigger impact on me than I'd like to admit --- I usually say that color is on the outside, and doesn't really factor in the performance of a car . . . but I also have to admit, that the odd-ball green on my car was a big draw for me. So, since I just don't see a lot of green cars, of any type . . . I'm starting a thread on ---- tah-dah ---- greens.

    Started doing some research, quickly came up on a listing, posted by U-Boat Commander, over on the Teamspeed site. Meanwhile, Raj brought up a listing put together by Zithlord, a coupla years back, so between all that . . .

    Here's my current attempt (as of 17-Mar, '11) at a comprehensive listing:

    Notes:
    *.....shared color code?

    Holy crap!

    Looks like it covers everything from 356s up through the current range. Considering how few green cars I see these days, the number and variety in this listing was a big surprise.

    Now, a lot of these colors sound familiar --- Conda, Irish, Leaf --- and I've heard of Viper Green . . . but Viper Green Metallic? Wow!

    Anyway, I'd like to turn this thread into something of a reference, so, in addition to any photos, try to have any submissions include the paint names (off the CoAs) or paint codes (off the door stickers) where they're available. Also, if the color is original or a re-spray.

    I think this'll be fun. I think I even remember seeing a color not listed above, on a Hot Rod, over on the Pelican site, called . . . bamboo green?

    Anyway, let's see what we can come up with . . .
