Default Code 98 color to sample 968 coupe

The english owner contacted me about this 968. It is a color to sample car. The silver paint code sticker is missing. What do you think the color is? Summer Yellow?

Different car (note lights in fenders, Japan 968 originally), maybe the same color.

Not my favorite color. Too bland. One of the reasons I never liked Drakar yellow.

I'm pretty sure that's a 1 of 1, and the color is "Post-It".

Is there anyone here who can turn the black wheels into silver via Photoshop? I think that shade of yellow would look better with silver wheels.

I've got a friend who had a Summer Yellow 944S that he bought from Lake Underwood, 1950's 356 SCCA champ's local Porsche dealership. It was a stock color that year.

The summer yellow u.s. spec 968 is a different shade of summer yellow. Great color's IMHO. Bmw's Dakar yellow was offered on the M3 in 1995, 96-99 Dakar Yellow 2 is not as flat as the 95 color. Slightly different shade's. Volvo also offered a similar yellow on the 1995 850 T5-R....very rare.
