Here is a '95 993 Cab I used to have (wish I still did) that was "Turquoise Metallic" code 35X and the only 993 I know of ever painted this color. There was one RS America, and I know of one 964 Turbo in this color. I think it was a 928 color in the late '80's early '90s... Really unique that would change a lot depending upon the way the sunlight hit it. Very rich looking. This and the Vesuvius color C4 I had got tons of compliments. People really seemed to love this color, I didn't at first but it really grew on me.

It can look lighter in bright sunshine.



Or darker in the shade.

Factory available shade not paint to sample. Used to have one in that shade. Very pretty

Saw a super Dark Green 993 in OC yesterday, not sure the color name, it had matching Dark Green wheels which makes me think it is maybe not factory?

I think that one was in Randy Leffingwell's Porsche 911 Buyer's Guide.
