Default What color green?
I'm convinced it's not the same green that is on my '07 GT3 RS. Maybe, old "yellow green"? Thoughts?

I have an original 1973 Porsche color chart for 911 and 914 with actual paint chips. To me, it looks most like Kelly Green (it's the only Green given for 911's - there are 3 others for 914's: Zambezi, Delphi, and Ravenna).

Looks like it has more yellow in it than Kelly green. I even checked the RS registry and cannot find a name for that trim color in 1973.

Damn, I love Leaf Green!

An early 911 in LG is right at the top of my fav. list.

I believe 998 is the non-metallic 'paint to sample' code.. Riviera is 39E.

The green on a white/green stripe RS in 1973 was Viper green color code #225 for a Glasurit mix. That color has nothing in common what so ever with the green on a 2007 GT3RS, unless you Stevie Wonder!
