I did not think to photograph the two since it seemed obvious to me that Lava Orange is a modern, two stage, version of the old single stage tangerine. I will photograph the two touch up paints together on the same piece of high gloss paper for comparison.
Thanks for this. Looking forward to your follow-up. And I certainly didn't mean any offense by agreeing with Nizer and suggesting the colors look different. I have not seen lava orange in person but it looks absolutely brilliant from the photos and videos I've seen! I've been a fan from day one.

No problem. I always want to post factual information and not just throw stuff out there because it's the internet. There's so much misleading and half truthful stuff around I don't want to add to it! I'll post the lava and tangerine together when I get the Lava touch up bottle. They are not identical to be sure, I think the Lava is a shade or two lighter, but they are clearly very similar red-orange hues.

Thanks. Tangerine looks lighter and more orange in the photo. In real life is that so?

Awesome thanks for the comparison. Tangerine is one of my favorite Porsche colors of all time. Lava is very close

Agree.

Tangerine is also one of my all-time favorites. But from that sample comparison, I like lava better.

Last weekend at Le Mans there was a 991 cabrio in LO. (apparently there were some RS's too, but I didn't get to see them)
Spotted the car going through the village of Arnage and it passed me (twice) on the 'autoroute' on the way home.
The name is fitting. There's some sort of whiteness (like hot metal / lava) about the orange.
