RR

The 1996 and 1997 993 and 993 Turbo was available with a bright silver.
Saw one on the week end and it looked hot.

My question is 2 fold.

1. Is it the same color number as the Artic Silver available for the 996?

2. Does anyone know what the color number was for that silver?

To me the 993 silver was much brighter with probably a whiter pigment, the 996 silver seems to have more of a grey pigment.

P.S.
I know that the early 993 models were only available with a silver that had a more blue tinged colour that IS NOT the one I am looking for. I am looking for the one available on the 1997 and 1998 993 which was a bright bright silver.

Thanks.

The 993 was available in arctic silver (the color of my car below) and polar silver (more bluish). I don't know if it is identical to the 996 arctic silver. There's a 996 in the background for comparison.

Looks like RR has been spamming the different boards with the same post!

There's a similar post on the 964 turbo forumn also.

The color code for Polar Silver was 92E/A8. in 2001 for some reason the code was 92E/A8/92M

Arctic Silver was always coded 92U/X1

Here are 3 examples, but each color looks different in different lights.
1. Polar
2. Arctic
3. Meridian
