Default Birch vs Acid Green

Has anyone seen the two in person or have any idea what the difference is in the colors? I know both are somewhat rare and high probability that someone has seen both......

GT3 is Birch, and the Carrera is Acid.

Birch is amazing with a small touch of black, like the porsche sticker on the side, but when its pain, it seems weird, I would go birch over acid.

Acid has more tennis ball yellow character in all lighting conditions whereas birch has darker green overtones in anything but bright sunlight. Acid would be my choice for a Boxster Spyder or GT4, birch for any 911.

There's a really nice Birch Spyder I've seen pics of. My choice would be Chartreuse for a GT4 or 911. We all need you to post some more pics of yours! I haven't seen any new ones for awhile ​​​​​​​

Here is Birch (left) vs Chartreuse (right). Can you tell I've done my research on these colors and their differences

this is birch as real colour corrected as you can get. Saturate it a bit more and you get Acid

HI

In all lighting circumstances, acid has a more tennis ball yellow color, whereas birch has heavier green overtones in all but intense sunshine. For a Boxster Spyder or GT4, I'd go with acid, and for any 911, I'd go with birch.

Birch will almost hurt your eyes in bright sunlight.

I have seen both colors independant of each other, and it does depend on lighting, but the above picture by Mussl Kar seems pretty accurate. Mine is Acid Green, and here are a couple in daylight. Once you go Acid, everything else seems so bland....lol.....




Sorry, FAL was on as I was driving up a steep incline to get to the 3rd floor of parking complex.

I had a birch 992TTS! Honestly not what the difference is.

If i had to describe birch as a color...I would say tennis ball.
