The yellow greens are particularly tricky. I have seen the San Diego Birch green 997.2 RS and it is significantly different from my Chartreuse 4.0. Both are very difficult to photograph accurately. Birch Green is slighter paler and less saturated. Chartreuse is stronger and more complex, but not as bright and 'pure' as my Lime Green 74 Euro Carrera or as bright as my Liecht Grun 74 Carrera RS 3.0. I also believe that even factory versions of historic colors are different from the original 70's colors - different paint formulations. When my 4.0 was next to a Chartreuse 73 RS owned by a friend, the colors were subtly different. I'll be curious to see my Maritime Blue 991 RS next to my 964 RS of the same color.

After almost 14 months since we submitted one of my all-time favorite PTS colors for feasibility review, I finally received confirmation that 226 / Chartreuse / Lind Green (lindgrün) is fully approved and will be available the next time a PTS window opens!
It's been 3+ years since the 991 generation was introduced, and I'm really happy that we're finally able to get this classic color back.
Looking forward to getting an upcoming 991.2 GT car in this color.
Many thanks to Brett Payne at Sonnen, and Melissa Witek at Porsche Exclusive, for the assistance in getting this pushed through.
@Heads up to Eduardo!

I am very happy that we managed to get this color back on the PTS list. I am looking forward to the next window opening up so we can have some fun with these new approved colors.

Thanks for the support, as always, Brett!
And thank you all. You are most welcome.
Looking forward to seeing some other 226's to go with whatever 991.2 RS car I end up ordering in 226 in the next year or so (GT3 RS / GT2 RS).

Eduardo and Nate,
I just wanted to say I enjoy reading your very informative posts. While I admit I am not as passionate as you about historical Porsche colors, I really enjoy looking at the pictures and history of the older models. While you may disagree over certain historical details, I think there is probably a better way to debate the issue. While I'm sure every member here has avoided the impulse to send a terse response to a post they disagree with, I would ask that you put your differences aside for the benefit of the forum. You provide a valuable resource to the community that will be missed if you decide to stop contributing. Happy Holidays and have a great New Years!
