Ah yes there it is. Signal Green. Sweet. That is rare. So is that Rubystone Red. Oh yea btw, Brianh that is Metallic Oak Green. Also rare. Basicly any car not painted Guards Red, Black, Grand Prix White is a rare color.

armanth violet, red raspberry metallic, the mint green, speed yellow, silver(believe it or not), riviera blue, all were factory colors but chosen rarely...

I could have missed a couple , but those are the biggy's...

I have red raspberry metallic, and we lost it in a fire at my mechanics garage, the wife is still upset about that.

I wish I could find the site I stumbled on one day belonging to an owner in Asia. They had some colors rarely seen in the US.

Mint green is the first few posts along with the speed yellow. Crazy color.

Very nice uscarrera. I bet people avoid you on the track just to make sure they don't mess up your paint job.

Avoid me? I think the color draws other cars like a moth to a flame, that's racing!

I can't believe all the beautiful 968 color combinations being posted here. Wow! Maybe I'll get lucky and trip across a cool color someday? I suspect that most people went for the common colors. I think good condition paint in a scarce color has to have an effect on the resale value.
