Lizard Green looks like a fantastic color, a worthwhile replacement for Gelbgrun. Too bad Miami is such a poor-man's replacement for Riviera/Mexico.

The car is gelbgun also known as Birch Green. The person who posted the picture comparison owns the car.

Gelbgrun (translated Yellow Green) is not the same color as Birch Green.

It was discussed in the 991GT3RS.2 thread that in the second picture of the two cars the sign indicating the color of the car on the right is incorrect, it is not Birch Green.

Birch Green (253) and Gelbgrun (137) are completely different color codes.

I was looking for that pic, Mech33 beat me too it.

For full size reference, here is a Birch Green 991.1 GT3.

I did some checking and I am mistaken. Birch green is not the same as gelbgrun.

Those pictures are so close it’s unreal.

I would say the biggest difference between Gelbgrün & Lizard Green is that Gelbgrün is uni while Lizard Green is a metallic.

Probably the biggest difference between Lizard and Gelbgrun is the spelling.

Yeah? When I saw the Lizard Green GT3RS at the NYIAS, it looked like it had a metallic flake in it. It was subtle but could have been the lighting & my eyes.

I have a gelbgrun GT4 and I saw the lizard car at the auto show and they while similar are different

i prefer gelbgrun but lizard is a bit less wild so to speak

a good point was made earlier

id say it’s like Riviera to Mexico

looks similar unless next to each other
