I like this shade of silver grey. It makes the metal work stand out in a subtle way

It took some time for me to warm up to Silverrose, but I think it really is a pretty colour. I like it because it can look so different depending on the lighting.

This is Graphite Metallic
Color Code: LB7V. Seems rare but it's rarely mentioned. Only on 86 and 87 models.

Peeled banana yellow?




Just kidding.

I have a love/hate relationship with it but I'm going to repaint it eventually. There probably aren't many in that color (pasadena yellow) if you are interested in painting it something unique, though.

Stone Grey Metallic for my 951
Meteor Grey Metallic for my 958
Porsche Racing Green Metallic for my 987.2

I have to say, it's the Cayman that gets all the compliments on color. BTW, my Super Beetle is Marino Yellow which is very, very close to Porsche's Signal Yellow. I get a lot of compliments on it too.

Only the brave would even consider Mint Green.

I honestly LOVE the guards red on a clean car, but gee-golly they must account for 80% of 944s out there.

So the best would be any other colour (except 'neglect me' burgundy).
