Default Help with paint: "Viper Green" - "Signal Green" - "RS Green"

From my research it seems.

Viper Green is the darkest with blues in it.

Signal Green is lighter with yellow in it.

RS Green is.... As I understand it 997 Gen 1 RSs were a different green to 997 Gen 2 RSs?


Could someone chime in with some more information on these colours and a clear picture of each?

My car is as stripped out as it ever will be again and I'm yearning, screaming, obsessed, longing (insert adverb) for Signal or Mint Green.

My damn advisors tell me that it is far too espensive to do a color change properly as they would want to strip the entire car; I have to back off, but man...it is so very tempting.

pictures from the web aren't the way to do color comparison. Lighting conditions are going to affect the appearance. Look the the 2 signal green pics above- way different shades, based on lighting.

Best bet is to go to the paint dealer and compare "swatches"

Totally agree on the pictures but I've never seen a color chip that was that accurate either.
