Question 951 Body Color Options

Does anyone know all the different body color options for these cars? I am going to need to re-paint and will have the car gutted for a while and was considering a different color. Just not sure if I want to keep it white or go to something else. I would like to keep it an original porsche color, but if I see something I like, I will consider it. Also, what are your opinions on the different colors.
Thanx,
Dan

So are there only two white colors then? The standard Alpine White and the special Pearl Luster White? I've seen another 944NA running around that has the super bright white like you see on the Hondas and Toyotas. Was this not a factory color and the car I saw has been repainted?

I'm going to carbon-fibre bodywork in preparation for the OTC and was considering repainting the entire car either in Charro Rosso Ferrari Red or a super-bright white of some sort.

Thanks for the responces. I think that Charro Rosso Ferrari Red would look pretty sweet, but every car that I've owned has been a red of some sort. I'm thinking about Satin black metallic or the Stone grey metallic. I didn't realize that there were so many colors to choose from!
Thanks,
Dan

This picture called Stone gray with weird lighting looks remarkably like my "saphire",could be wrong though.Interesting to note that my 951 color NAUTIC(ly5z)was only made in one year,'87.Does anyone know of any other owners of that color . I've never seen another anywhere.
