Green...
Played with different Porsche greens in different lighting scenarios today.
Ordered a spray can of each - Conda, Signal and Viper Green from PaintScratch.com (great place to work with). Nice that you can search for colors based on color and year.
Cut down a few pieces of foam board and gave it a few coats of the respective color to get a feel for the different ways the color might behave in different lighting perspectives.

I guess it depends on your vision for the car. If you are going to lean more to a stock appearance then I would go with the only factory 968 offering, signal. This way, when you show up at a Porsche show the car would "appear" more correct. Since they imported exactly "0" signal green 968s you'll definitely stand out, even if there is a SG 964 in attendance. If you are going full wild custom then anything goes. Here's a lot of Viper Green on an exclusive Macan at this year's Parade.

Conda looks to fall a bit flat, in your tests at least, and it might hide some of the nice 968 curves. Trying to choose between the other two is hard but would lean towards viper based on the range of colors it is showing in your photos.

Wild or Mild...oh wait, its green. 
Conda is out, down to Signal or Viper. There are two versions of Viper Green Metallic that I couldn't order and do a spray out with. The first uses bronze flakes while the other uses silver flakes.

I've got a thing for darker or the more 'complex' weird colours but the Signal actually looks pretty good now that I've seen a picture of it. Here's another. I bet some black Cup 1s would look really sharp. Are you painting Wilma or the Turbo?

Wilma since she's nearly naked now (note, 'naked' is an acceptable term...'nekkid' means your up to something 
).
Ota (the turbo project) will remain Amazon Green. Obligatory pic of Ota just after Trevor sold the car to me back in 2004.
