I submit that "adventurine" is a common mis-spelling, or it describes the spirit of the individuals who ordered or currently own vehicles of this color; as in "adventurous."
Thank you all for your comments, most informative.

There was a local guy selling an "Adventurine green" 993 here for a while in our local PCA newsletter. He also said it "was purchased from prestigious Victory Motorcars in Houston Texas."
Fail.
Fail.

Pictures of the 93' and 95' US Porsche color pamphlets have been sent via email to the OP as per his PM request to me. Hopefully he will post them so that you all can see that Porsche North America changed the name of the color for the US market.

Hmmm...well the paint tag on my 95.5 993 says: " AVENTURAGRUEN METALLIC K6" and has the numerical code: "39S-9-4-WBL",
so I guess it really is a green queen. :-).

This post exists because 77'3.6vram messaged me looking for an apology!
They are both correct and both the same color.The 96' US 993 Color samples listed the color as Aventurine while the 97' US color samples have it as Aventura.Both are color code 39S for US 993 cars. PM me with your email and I will send you copies of both the 96' and 97' 993 color samples.
Read posts above. The same 39S is listed as both Aventura and Aventurine. The 94' Porsche color pamphlet (printed 8/93) has it listed as Aventurine(K6) and the 96' Color pamphlet(printer 8/95) has it listed as Aventura(K6).Give me your email and I will send you copies of both the 94' and 96' Porsche Color pamphlets so you can see it for yourself.
77'3.6vram!
I tried to send you a message, but your Rennlist account is not set up to allow that! I was just busting your ***** because your previous posts were contradicktory/cornfusing regarding the three or more names for this really cool green! Thanks for playing!

Mark,
I get PM's all of the time asking me for copies of Porsche documents. I not only Collect the cars but everything else about Porsche as well. I mis dated one of the color booklets from memory. I do not view that as contradictory or confusing.
