Default color: turquoise vs. wimbledon green vs turquoise blue

hi guys,
question, ive seen some 964 cars listed as being turquoise green (there's an rsa for sale that is this color). Was this is real 964 color? For 993 cars, turquoise is a different color which is very blue.

anyone have photos of how turquoise green varies from wimbledon green? - both are metallic and i imagine in different light can look similar.

thanks.
BD

That was a special order RSA but that color (Wimbledon Green) was a Factory option on 964 turbos and other widebodies.

My wife has a 93 C2 in WGM. A picture is in the 964 color thread from a while ago. I think that WGM is too light of green to be similar to torquoise blue.

B5 Wimbledon Green Metallic

Couldn't find a Turquoise Blue 964 code in the Red Book, however, there IS a Blue Turquoise 993 option (J1).

I had a Turquoise Green 964 C2, I believe the colour code was 37X (or 35X), it was a special order colour from the factory, the only other time i have see the same colour was a 964 turbo.
Turquoise Green became a standard colour on 993
Wimbledon Green is a different colour but I dont know what the code is,

mlk118s,
Great looking car! That's the first time I've seen Cup 1s on a 993. They look good!

There's (also?) the Turqoise RSA job noted for sale in SC.
One in CA and one in SC?

This for-sale RSA has enticed & confused me.
It claims exclusivity of color.
And I DEW like that color... two smallish states away, lowish miles on the odo...
No.
Must. Look. Away...
