Default Carmon Red OR Carmona Red

Yes, this is one of the least important posts I could dream up, BUT, has Porsche changed the name of Carmon Red to Carmona Red? It's all over the configurator now. Was it always Carmona is non-US markets maybe? Either way, it's a nice color.

It used to be Carmon on the configurator and in the order guides. Now it's Carmona. I've been wondering why it changed.

Actually that is correct. The Porsche white is Carrara White and is named after marble from Carrara, Italy (or something like that).

Dave is corect. Carrara, Italy is where they mine white marble, which is very nice looking marble.

Default Carmon Red

I posted a few pics of my "Carmona Red" 997 S Cab on the Fchat site a few weeks ago and received a response from somebody who seemed in the know, and said it was a typo on the the part of Porsche that has gone too far. (Carmon is correct) The sales book has "Carmon Red" but my window sticker came in Carmona Red. I'm sticking with Carmon.
