just saw RJ777s amazingly beautiful granite green 928 and noticed that , like blue, i have not seen many green sharks in pictures. was this car not made in that color much? seems we always see red or black with little in between besides silver.
would this be a good time for a green 928 roll call thread?!
post it if you got it.

Well, mine is called Amazon Green. Most people think that it is blue, until you park it next to a blue car. Then they see the green.

granite green is a prettty rare color for a 928.

I don't know how rare it is, but Adam G. has an 86.5 in Moss Green Metallic. I love that color! I wish I could have found one in green, but my priority was more mechanical and it had to be a stick. I couldn't be too picky about the color.

Thats because it is blue. I think they needed a green in the line up and decided to call it Amazon green since they already had several blues. Both my cars look blue 70% of the time with 15% black and 15% green. Still a fantastic color.

Red ,White, Silver, and Black are the most common colors in the USA. The vast majority of the 928s were built on speculation and shipped tp the dealers to be sold , few were special ordered. So unusual colors were seldom used since they might be harder to sell to most people. Same with interior colors black and tan some light grey but Lipstick RED !!! never...In Europe few bought off the rack but ordered cars as THEY WANTED THEM with the features important to them.

good point jim.
so where are they? does anyone have any pics to post? i would love to see more of that new granite green on the block...mmmmm

My '88 S4 is Lagoon Green, which appears more light blue than green. It's a beautiful and unusual color. I know of only one other like it, and it is in Australia. Interior is green-grey with linen leather and carpet.

sam, any pics? lets get them up there. its nice for people shopping for their first shark to see the different colors. the OZ site has one page of colors but its always nice to drool over them here.

Here's a couple pics of my "Rock Green" or Granite Green Metallic.

Hi All,

My shark lives in the tropics, Phuket Thailand, so the nice deep green works really well.

Not a great photo but you get the idea.

This color has to be seen in person to truly appreciate it. It looks different depending on the light. Flourecent lights, direct sun-light, or outside on a cloudy day all make the color morph slightly.

I have a special order NiteGreen S4, it's the only known 928 in this color and was ordered to match original owners special order 911

motionbroker

Thats a fair comment. You can see how much it changes depending on what it is reflecting in this photo.

Oak green is a beautiful color. I don't see many Porsche's painted that color in any model.

I will post a picture of Amazon in this picture it looks a little more green than usual and like any of the special order paints it needs to be seen to be understood.
