Like Jade Green and Viper Green, this is spectacular on a period 911 from the 70s. The small size works in its favor. It's like painting a Miata or an Alfa Spider that color. But on the large size of today's 991? Not so much. Much better to go with a darker green like Brewster, Irish, PRG, BRG, Oak, etc., IMO. But MAN, I love that Leaf. It' actually looks like it could be a Fiat 500 color. Fairly close to their Pistachio but nicely richer.
I wanted leaf, ended up with Auratium. It should be getting on a boat soon. This one is not mine, but it shows the color well. Maybe a bit more blue than leaf.
There are so many great greens in Porsche's past. Radium comes to mind, from the 356 era. Dark Teal from the 986.2/996.2 does, too. Malachite from the 997 era, and one can easily go on...
I have never seen radium in person, I wonder if there are any left with original paint. It would have been lacquer which was probably stunning when new.
Darn - really bummed. Decided last night to switch from GT Silver to Irish Green for my late November build, and was told this morning that they can't do the PTS anymore - would have had to order it by Oct 9.
