That's a really nice blue. Was it a full repaint? When did it happen?

Default Not a special order color, but not common

I just picked up this 1999 painted in a factory color called "Vesuvio Gray Metallic" . I had not seen one like this before, and it can seem to change hues in different light.

What a wonderful color! I mean, we all know GR is #1, but this is a solid second...., maybe first..., but I'd never say out loud.

Factory color on the 993 I believe. Factory paint to match order.

Rain Forest Green. Picked it up mid-Sept. Only 300 miles on it since I grabbed it due to ongoing coolant issues and winter. Can't wait till the spring time.

@uscarrera is my hero haha so you’re the owner of the single Ocean Jade 996 on Rennbow—cheers! I love Pastel Yellow a lot

@Goofy1 despite the usual criticism of a sea of silver and black 996s, black is very modern relevant color. I have a black 996 cabriolet that I daily and most people think it is a new car

@rino924 I was on a hunt for Rainforest Green and couldn’t find a good one—they are rarer than people think!

My Zanzibar Red and Speed Yellow:
