Default I have a sweet tooth for butterscotch? (or what is the official name of this color?)

Short background, I graduated in '83 and a classmate of mine was given a 911 Targa by his dad for graduating with a 4.0 gpa. I absolutely loved that car. Fast forward 35 years and I finally have a 991.2 in my garage. As most of you here know, you just can't forget your first love. Translated, that means I am beginning a search for an air cooled stablemate for my 991. Driving home from the office today I see the EXACT color Targa that my buddy had back in the early 80's (I believe it was an '82 to be precise). I fell in love all over again. So I finally get to the reason for this posting. It looks like a butterscotch tan if that makes any sense?? I wasn't about to try to take a picture of the car while I was driving this afternoon so this pic shows the color I am referring to. Can anybody tell me the official Porsche name for this color and what are my chances of finding a sunroof delete coupe in this particular color? Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide.

It almost looks like Pasadena Yellow, or Bamboo Beige.

Guy on Pelican is selling a Bamboo Beige 81 SC. Might be just what you are looking for. (well it has a sunroof but the chance of finding that color seems quite slim)

Thanks for the tip, I checked and it sold yesterday.

Neighbor down the street has some experience with Porsche. He says maybe cashmere?? Anybody here have a cashmere 911 that can post a pic?

It's Cashmere Beige like the one on top. A friend just repainted his and it's beautiful. His is a sunroof.

This looks like one for $39K, although can't tell whether it has a sunroof.
