The Aventurine Green metallic 993C4S in post #2 is the real deal. Maybe someone will open the reference books on this one.
I recall Porsche switching btw Arctic silver metallic and Polar silver metallic during years '96 and '97 I think. The two colors took turns in the tier one paint option position. Example, an old buddy has a MY97 993tt in Polar silver metallic which was tier one optional cost paint. in '98 Polar became a $3150. tier two cost optional paint. Go figure.

That's a lot of green for Greyish green. When I bought my aventurine 993 I was take it or leave it with regards to the color but it has really grown on me, it is subtle but interesting, different but not too flashy. Bill W should swap me his gulf blue rs so he can experience it

My window sticker indicates $1,036 for the metallic paint. I have cashmere (tan) interior.
This is my aventurine green at an Atlanta car show in '09.

Aventurine is, for my money, the most elegant color for the 993. It was my first choice but I ended up with slate grey. If you have not seen the Aventurine green with the burgandy interior - it is really something. Not for everyone I understand, but so unique - so beautiful.

My jaw drops when on the rare, make that uber rare, occasions Aventurine Green metallic is viewed on a 993. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a burgundy/Aventurine Green coupe in the flesh… When spoken from a time capsule, make my Aventurine metallic with full black leather interior and then some….and have Zuffenhausen scary up a set of 18” Cup II wheels. That combo could it exist in a 993 wide body is art.

Just to pile on, I like mine too. I was unsure when I saw it first under fluorescent lights, but it transformed when it went out into the daylight. That's the best thing about it - how it has such different personalities in different lights. Also interesting - when my body shop guy mixed me some paint, it has no green in it.
