Default Signal Green Color in Puget Sound Area?

Anyone have a Signal Green car for me to take a look at the color in person in the Puget Sound Area?

Don't think they made any 996 cars in that color

They made a few Caymans and 997s in that color, but you won't find any 996s in that color (aside from perhaps a custom-painted one).

All I see around here are silver and black 996s. That's one of the reasons I got Lapis Blue!

I could never figure out why 90% of 996's are either black or gray, when in any other color they look way better? Or maybe they look better in blue because you never see one, and when you do, it's like WOW?

Yes - not to mention that when you do the price appraisal through Edmunds, they deduct $125 because it is blue! Black gets a $25 price hike and silver gets a whopping additional $160! You want it in green? Knock $75 off the price because it is an "undesirable" colour

PTS color of a 997 convertible in Florida. It is a shade off of my GT3 RS green Cayman. I wanted to see it for my self to see if the yellow tint throws the color off too much for me. The GT3 RS green is a fun color.

2001 Wimbledon Green C4....

Over the years I have seen a Boxster and a 997 in this color here in the area.

Most of the Porsches that I see are some variety of silver, gray or black. They are very common colors and the cars look great in these colors.

Personally, I like a bit more color. I love my Midnight Blue Metallic C4S. I'm also a big fan of some of the more obscure colors that were offered on the 996, like Rainforest Green and Zanzibar Red. You just don't see them very often.

I'm generally not a fan of white cars, but I've seen a white 996 C4S in person and it was stunning.

That's why I like my purple I doubt I will run into another one in my color, considering they only made 911 of them in my color.

Silver was the color for the majority of leased 996's... thus, there is a sh-load of them around.

I was wondering wtf is signal green color, but then it's more like neon green color, at least from the picture.
