P.S. It was me who posted something last year ("Finaly got my shark to my expectation - Some picks") and both you and Nicole were not sure about the color.

My wine red (weinrot) 82 was kinda rare. I don't think I ever went to an event where another 928 was the same color, though I have seen a few on Rennlist.
Keith,

My dead '81 Weinrot

I don't know how rare it is but my 88 is Venetian Blue, and was only available for two years. I have seen two or three others.

It looks like the same color that Georges 90 was until it became a race car!

Here is another really rare color: Crystal Emerald Green Metallic (a Mercedes Benz color), probably the only 928 this color in the entire world...

Iris Blue. A very hard color to get a good picture of. It's really more purple than blue.

And Amazon Green. Another color that's difficult to do justice to with a picture.

Oh yes, you're right! I remember seeing pictures of George S's car getting a rollcage and thinking the remaining stock bits looked Mahogany.

So with Garth's former car in evidence too, I guess it's not so rare as I imagined.

Sorry, it was you. There was someone else that had Marine and thought it was Cobalt. The close up picture is definitely Cobalt the other picture looks more Marine blue. Cobalt, in fact all the pearlcoat paints are hard to capture unless you have 8 megs or better and a good lens. I had a crappy camera and lost it so it is time for a new one too.

Iris Blue. A very hard color to get a good picture of. It's really more purple than blue.
So we have Iris blue which is more purple than blue and Amazon Green which is more blue than green, Midnight Blue which is more black/blue and purple, Black Metallic which is more dark gray. Where these guys sniffing the paints when they named them?

Most all the colors are great except maybe the signal green and a few other odd ones.

Woodsrider aka NeverlateInMy928 has the fortune to be the owner of one of the rarest coloured Porches in existence. Marble Grey.
