Bonsoir Eduardo,
Maybe it has been already discussed. Sorry for the flood.
I saw a few recent adds with 964 "Violet Amarante" from 1992 or 93 recently popping up. Are Ultra Violet from 991 GT3 RS and Violet Amarante from 964s the same color?
Many thanks,
Regards,
Marc

'Violet Amarante', or 'Violet Amaranth' in English, appears to be a
slightly different color than 'Ultraviolet'. That hue I thought was
a MY1994/1995/1996 color at Porsche. It had color code 39D.

There was a 'Violet Blue' in MY1993 (and later in 1997) that was also
different than the new 'Ultraviolet'. That had color code 37E & I believe
it's a metallic:

This Porsche in France is reported to be 1992 in the ad but claims to
be painted in 'Violet Amarante':
I don't know if this is the one that you were thinking of when
you asked me the question. The ad mentions that it was a
special request (PTS) from 'Porsche Exclusive'. So that might
be the case.

In any case, the old 'Violet Amaranth' appears to be different
than the new 'Ultraviolet' recently formulated by PAG for the RS:
That new color formulation has a different Porsche color code (M4A)
than 'Violet Amaranth' (39D), and that tells you part of the story:
From another conversation in the 991 gt3 forum which might
be of interest to those following this 'PTS Reference Guide'.

Imaginary...but alluding to a potential PTS color. Last year for the
PTS metallic choice they started using a representation that some
thought resembled 'Arena Red Metallic'. At times, PAG has used
other representations to designate a PTS color, such as what was
interpreted as 'Miami Blue' on the RS configurator for PTS solid/uni:

In fact, Daniel, there is not 'hard & fast' rule as to when PAG decides
to remove the 'exclusivity' of a previously designated color. It took
far less than five years for 'Brewster Green', an original exclusive
color for the Club Coupe edition in MY2012, to be available to anyone
via PTS.
No, 'Club Blau' is not on the Nov 17th 2015 approved list. I had a
very specific conversation on when might 'Club Blau' become available
to others via PTS with a high-ranking employee of 'Porsche Exclusive'
Germany that made the presentation at Rennsport V on how the PCA
60th Anniversary 'GTS Club Coupe' was conceived & executed at PAG.
He told me that for MY2016, the color was 'safe' as an exclusive.
But he could, or would not, commit as to how long the color would
be held 'exclusive' to the 60th PCA Anniversary limited edition. He
did say that PCA was lobbying hard PAG to make sure that this color
remained unique to their 60th anniversary edition. But as you have
heard me say a number of times, PTS is not controlled by 'Porsche
Exclusive' at PAG. Hopefully, if they let me interview these officials
later this year, I will try to get an answer to that question.
From another thread but I thought it might be of interest to some here.

Eduardo, do you know what the 2 left most reds in that pic are? Guessing the left most one is rubystone red? Thanks again.
I think you are right about the far left sample as being 'Rubystone'!
Or the color PAG today calls 'Ruby Star' / 'Sternrubin', color code 82N.

In fact, those photos were taken at Zuffenhausen by RSGT (Gerald).
They were posted at the Reference PTS thread I started at the 991
gt3 forum. Maybe Gerald took notes of every color on that board.
You should ask him.
