Early 911 color chart for ID ?
I am trying to locate a list.chart of the colors available for a 73.5 T - I have all the books made on the subject but apparently I either can't use an index or the authors did not care. Any color chart available in print out there?
Specifically, can anyone identify this color for me ? Pretty please ?
And no jokes on the poor choice of color please, I just might have bought this car...
It looks burgundy to me but the owner swears it's brown...

Hard to tell in that light, but I think Pete's right. I had an aubergine 73S that I was very fond of 
BTW, Aubergine is French for Eggplant...

Is it a metallic? It looks metallic in the picture. According to paintscratch.com
for 1974 Porsche offered a "copper brown metallic." The pic looks like it could be this. Aubergine (also German for eggplant) is purple and is a non-metallic paint.

Try this web page: http://www.elferhelfer.com/farben.htm. If that is the origianl color, check the plate on the driver side a pillar and find your color in the charts.

Somebody posted that color on Pelican a while ago and it was not Aubergine.
BTW, you don't have all the books - PAG made a looseleaf binder of color ships by year.
And... what does your plate say? You could have a custom color - my 73.5 is custom (and it was ugly as sin too).

Looking at color chips on a computer monitor is like washing your feet with your socks on, but I have scanned images of the early Glasurit color codes and samples on my website here, courtesy of Bob Fleming.

Doesn't look Aubergine(purple/eggplant) to me.
The side shot looks very,very much like my burgundy 70T, but the back direct-sun shot looks like there's a touch of metalic added, which very well could be copper/metalic.
My 70T Burgundy(new "OEM" PPG paint) looks brown/grey at night and under florescents, but bright glowing and almost pinkish in midday sunlight.
