Default Uncommon paint colors

I have read that 993s came in some fairly unusual exterior paint colors. Does anyone know where I can go to see how many cars for a particular model and year were factory painted in what colors for U.S. (not ROW)?

No numbers but this is fun to play with. Scroll down and select Porsche - you can see the standard and optional color cards (I assume) from the sales paraphernalia.

I have what I think to be the only C2S (98) in Mirage Metallic. Any others out there?

Oooooh. It says signal green was available in 95. Anyone ever seen one in the U.S.? (saw a beautiful signal green 964 on the 964 forum a while back - awesome).

Only $104K? I'll take two then. (I wouldn't have any $$ left for mods).

In addition to Vesuvius my favorite color is Viola Metallic...I have only seen two of these and both were 993 Turbos. Also love the paint to match Fly Yellow.
