These are all reposts, but here goes:

Is the first car not Viper Green?

Hey 3mph great work rounding up all those green machines pics!

H82BL8

Thanks very much.
Is there any confirms of the color codes.
One of the greens is easy to peg....Birch. Lol

The last one looks more like Viper Green to me, first one is too bright

GT TREE

Not sure what Green, but Green it is!

Photo 3, 4 & 5 is undoubtedly 'Lichtgrün/Birch Green/Light Green', color code 253. Just because we know that is the only hue like that approved for PTS!

Not to my knowledge. It could equally be 'RS Green', color code 2D8. Camera lenses, filters & lighting conditions vary and it's difficult to authenticate the color until the owner, or someone familiar with the custom order, confirms it.

Someone apparently familiar with the owner of that vehicle has posted (see below) that the color on that car is the 'Signal Green' currently approved for PTS, which is code '22S'.

Interesting that all the PTS vehicles have the Black Bi-Xenon lights. Can't tell about the last one though. I guess that's the way to go with these bright PTS colours.

Looks like gt tree's photo shows LEDs on the signal green car. A good look too as an alternative to black pdls.

Happy Turkey day my American friends.
Eduardo is correct. Difficult to capture on camera. The three greens that are on the PTS list are very close shade to each other.
2d8 green (rs green), 225 viper, 22s signal. I had these three colors made up to see each side by side. The green 2d8 has a blue/creamy look when next to the others, signal had a yellow tint and the viper looked a little bit in between. The colors changed so much depending on lighting. Artificial light, natural, full sun, shade. It became difficult to determine one from the other lighting dependant

H8: Glad you went through all of that so you could see for yourself. Good for you!

The first attached photo is one I took in 2013 at 'Porsche Exclusive' in Zuffenhausen when they showed me the various 'greens' PAG had done in recent years. It includes my old '07 Carrera S coupe's 'Signal Green', which was the 'W25' version that I positively love. As you can see, all of these bright green colors look different from each other in the same photo with the same camera and lighting!

In the second photo, you see the original 'W25' Signal Green rear lid of my '07 Carrera S coupe (which I kept). In the third photo, you see that lid set against the color code 225 'Viper Green' 911 Turbo S cabriolet demo at the Porsche Parade this year at Monterey. Although harder to see in that photo, the 'Viper' had noticeable 'blue tint' compared to the more 'yellow tint' on my 'W25' Signal Green lid! So there are great differences between 'RS Green' 2D8, 'Viper' 225, 'Signal Green' 22S and 'Signal Green' W25 (not yet submitted, although I am hoping to have it approved by PAG in 2015!).

Same same but different...as they say in Thailand!

Signal W25 would have been my choice but it was not on the list. Someone has to go through the pain to get W25 on the list. I settled for Viper (as per previous post). I'm not allowed to mention the forbidden letters anymore on this forum. Just for info... I filled out the paperwork with my dealer for Porsche Canada to pick up in Leipzig. April 10 th 2015

Sorry off topic. Eduardo , have there been any yellow PTS colours over the years?

I am going to give it a shot. But despite my efforts to propagate the benefits of PTS & interesting leather & stitching options from 'Porsche Exclusive', they seldom cooperate in providing me with the needed facts on the options not listed on PAG/PCNA's website configurator. Without it, it's often difficult for me or others to write here (at Rennlist, where I mostly post) the correct information that an enthusiast needs to know prior custom ordering his 'unique' (and very expensive) 991 or 981. You would think 'Porsche Exclusive' would help...but you would be wrong. I mean it's not like these threads I write have been only viewed by a few thousands at best. At last count just the 991 thread had over 164K views and the 981 thread had over 43K!

The old management at 'Porsche Exclusive' in the US probably didn't appreciate the constructive criticism I share with Rennlisters about the dysfunctional manner 'Porsche Exclusive' often conducts its affairs (e.g. erratic PTS windows). So my relationship with them is 'distant'...at best. But I keep it going just to help out members here, not to help PAG with sales! I canceled my 991 order and got an R8 Spyder...that is how disgruntled I became with them! Hopefully, the new management headed by Barbara Boeckenhoff, who just replaced Sascha Glaeser as head of 'Porsche Exclusive' at PCNA, will be implementing new policies to improve the way their operation serves Porsche customers in North America.

It will be interesting if they are willing to test W25 'Signal Green' to see if it meets feasibility requirements (fade, coverage, etc). Normally, they need a custom order placed in their order book before they do the feasibility tests. But Melissa Witek, who still works at 'Porsche Exclusive' but is now based in Atlanta, said she would give it a 'try'. And hopefully she'll get it done. But if any one of you likes PTS 'Signal Green' W25 enough to warrant a possible order and you have pull at your dealer or PCNA, please ask for 'W25' Signal Green to be tested & approved! Contact me and I'll give further information on this wonderful & beautiful deep color of 'green'!

Photo 1: W25 Carrera S MY2007 (my old 997 C2S)
Photo 2: W25 Carrera S MY2008 Cabrio. Same color but two different camera lenses & lighting. The cabrio's photo is more representative of how I remember the color. These are in fact two of the total three PTS W25 'Signal Green' 997's custom ordered by US dealers in either (2) MY2007 or (1) MY2008.

Please explain. Who is blocking you from posting the 'forbidden letters'?
