Production Numbers by Color Combination
Is there a repository or matrix showing production numbers (by year) showing how many units of each color combination were manufactured?
Alternatively is there just a list / matrix that shows production numbers by exterior colors only?

A while back I recall seeing a poll in the 993 forum that asked what paint color member's cars were. Not really production numbers and there's no info on interior colors but it gives you an idea of the relative numbers of each color.
Remember Antiques Roadshow?
Unassuming Person: “How rare is this?”
Expert: “I’m afraid this is not a rare piece. It’s worth $10.”
I’m just trying to gauge the rarity (or lack thereof) of mine and other peoples’ 993s.
Perhaps a better question would have been “How rare is a 95 C4 Coupe 6MT in Aventurine over Flamenco Red,” but I was trying to ask in a way that would be useful to other forum members in the future, too.

My view is condition trumps color in valuation by a long shot.
Some individuals love black cars or silver cars, others would never buy one in these colors.
With this in mind I would think the color is an influencer at point of sale for a specific car and a specific buyer but really doesn't influence value overall.
For me I have owned three Porsches, two in guards red and my 993 in Speed Yellow, Condition and price were the key drivers for me. The color became my favorite over time as I enjoyed the car. Who's to say if I ran across a mint green 993 and purchased it, it wouldn.t become my favorite color?

I am surprised that there isn't records showing the numbers of cars by color and options. The 968s have a very detailed listing, http://968register.org/production-data/coupes/
