I ended up email Porsche and calling their headquarters. Emailed both customerconsultations@porsche.us as well as personaldesign@porsche.us . Well over a week and zero response from either, can't say I'm surprised as I certainly don't expect anyone to spend much time on this request but was hoping I would get one of those people that really made an effort and got me the paint code or at least a lead on where I could find it. We've all experienced unexpectedly good service, perhaps a little bit spoiled of me to be secretly wishing for this to happen in this case.
Calling all Porsche PTS gurus...Looking for the particular paint code or name
of the circled color. I know its a longshot but there is nowhere else to ask!

Hopefully someone who's familiar with the display order can say for sure.
Looks like the color sample 'work' wall on a room upstairs at the old Customer Center
at Werk II, right next to where customers would be shown & receive their brand new
Porsches at factory delivery. This was that room as used by Porsche Exclusive staff
for customer consultations as of 2015. That whole set of buildings were taken out in
2017 to create the new Mission E assemby area within Werk II.
There was no strict / set 'display order'. Rather it was rather loosy-goosy & samples
ended up being put back all over the place. I have no idea of the name of the color
sample WuBai has circled. Soulsea might have a better feeling for it.
***That smaller wall of color samples should not be confused with the old 'Wailing Wall
of PTS' that once adorned a nearby facade at the same Werk II Customer Center. It
was decorative wall...not a 'work' wall where clients pulled samples from the wall.
The new 'work' wall of color samples is now at the new offices of 'Porsche Exclusive'
at Werk 1. Blue Flame showed us that wall in his recent post:
To the gentleman looking to figure out what blue that is:
What I did when I was color shopping for colors I could not find on Will’s PTSRS Instagram or Rennlist was to use the list and then google the color name with Porsche. When that failed, I googled the name to see if I could figure out the origin of the color. When that failed, I googled the name with other VAG brands ([color] Volkswagen then [color] Audi then [color] Lamborghini then [color] Bentley). I did all of these types of searches in both English and German.
If you pick the colors off the list that may be that blue I am sure you can figure it out, or, more importantly, find one or a couple you like. I made it through all of the greens (could not find a couple if memory serves me) and a lot of other colors (golds, whites, browns etc.) but not blues. If I ever get a free day I will type up my findings in a spreadsheet. I had it to the point where I knew what years and models the color originally came from (this, of course, does not account for forumaltion changes required for new water based paints that may have altered the appearance from the original color when new).
I admit it was a fun thing to do being an insomniac. Hindsight I should have just ordered Auratium rather than try for leaf, but I knew the odds were long going in and Auratium has no special meaning to me and I still don’t know whether it is actually metallic or UNI.
I put together an excel with every green available on a 991. I am sure there are some errors, especially around the dates, but other than a renngrun aka fast green, I think I have figured them all out. In fact I noticed I forgot British racing and that there is a verde British racing green 991. If anyone wants to send me corrections I will update and repost it.

Nice work and notes. There are a few greens missing but you have most of them.
