thanks for the answer
it`s is going into a polar silver car that currently has light grey Vinyl /leather interior. The green looks terrific and really gives the car a lift, I don`t know what color car it came out of
cheers steve

I thought they called that Sherwood Green, Nephrite was a 996 color wasn't it? If I remember correctly Sherwood Green and Providence Blue were the "Special Leathers" on 993's. I could be wrong. What is the month and year of the build date of the Turbo 'S' they came from? There may have been a short time that the 2 colors overlapped during the 993-->996 transition.

Looks great! I saw the auction on Ebay a few weeks ago and I agree - very nice on a silver car!

Very nice. I love unusual interiors. The CF/aluminum shifter and ebrake look great. I want an aluminum ebrake handle bad.

I just obtained some factory 993 sales brochures and included was a color chart for 1997. Nephrite Green is shown as a special carpet and leather color.

A couple of things surprised me. Grand Prix White is not included as a standard paint color and Blue Turquoise is.
