I don't think it is a Porsche color, but that is just because I have never seen it before.

Are you sure it didn't follow you home?

Color...

Color is too light for Slate Grey...and a bit Blue-ish as well... it looks like a blend of Slate grey and Dolphin grey (1964 356 special color)...

Looks like this:Pelican thread

color from the laptop I looking on. And his description of the color:

Yes... I chose the 2010 Sport Classic Grey or AKA, Beige Grey, an old 356 color as I understand. I sprayed the trunk and engine compartment already and will have some photos soon.

If you check John Willhoits color sample charts, it looks very much like Graphite, a '54-'55 356 color.

I can assure you it is definitely not Dolphin Grey.
Our 911 that we just sold was painted Dolphin, it is much much lighter than the OPs pic......

As the owner of a '65 SC dolphin gray I can agree this RSR is not dolphin.

The indoor lighting, camera color balance, and computer monitor make it very hard to be sure of the color. I can guarantee in daylight it will look different.

Regardless of the color code it looks very nice.

I originally thought it could be Audi's Aviator or Nimbus Gray, but looks more like the color of this Lamborghini.
Not sure if this is a factory color on the Lambo though.

???

Lamborghini Grey (less green)

VW Anthracite Gray

more Anthracite (I think)

Aviator (light)

Nimbus (dark)
