Default "95" 993 Aventine green color?

Looked at a internet pic of a Aventine (sp?) Green car. Talked to the owner but he coudn't confim the color. Could one of you guys with a dark green 95 993 post a good resolution pic so I can really see the color.
I know shades and sun make a difference, I just want to see if it's something I can live with before I make time to go see.
Yes I tried the search

Thanks, Rick

If its really aventurine green you will need to see it in person first. The color changes depending upon light and the angle you look at it. At times it looks grey, others green. There has got to be a Rennlister in the area with that color. Anyone?

Aventurine is a gem. As un-touched as I can find. Many think the color is blue. First day with no snow and before clear corners (big improvement).

Look carefully at the picture with my user ID.

Actually, the ONLY way you can decide if you can live with it is to see it in real life. Everybody's tastes vary, and you should trust electronically transmitted colors as far as you can toss an elephant.

That's an easy quote. Anyone?

Great help , Thank you. This is on a 993TT that I am buying , but I just didn't know what it is called. Must be an optional colour on the TT as well.

Thumbs up Same subject; different picture

Aventurine Green color looks even better with clear front turn signal lenses. Hope this helps. This is an old shot.

I agree with this completely. I had discounted Ocean Blue cars based on some electronic pictures of the color, then found I really liked it in person - provided I wasn't wearing my standard grey-green Ray Ban sunglasses - which completely altered the way the car looked.
