Default What color is this ?

I recently {well 18 months ago} bought a 2006 Cayenne Turbo , it is a beauty.
Lots of options with the camel colored interior. The exterior color looks black until the sun hits it , then it is an emerald green metallic, I think. I haven't found a bright green like this listed anywhere only an olive green mettallic. But I don't think it's olive green. Any one have any ideas. Here is a pic , this one isn't mine but it's the same color. Also I am getting my 20 " sport techno wheels refinished what do ya think leave 'em silver or powdercoat them black or gun metal. The trim on my CTT is just like the picture here.

Perhaps this will help.

Here's your car color (in a GTS) with the rims painted black. http://www.deltaporsche.com/certifie...20c51d3b79.htm


I wouldn't go green. I've seen red GTS's with Red rims, and it's just to much color. Silver, GunMetal, Black...but same color I think is to much. IMHO.

My bet is black... the green color is from the headlight reflection...

Here's the available turbo colors:

+1...My Z1 has the same effect. BMW calls it Traum Schwarz (Dream Black), but it definitely looks metallic green in certain sunlight conditions.

Very cool color...

Thanks everyone for the help { even you Adman21 }
I had not seen the color chart Cab & Coupe posted so hadn't seen the jet green metallic color.
I get a lot of second looks and compliments from people when they realize the Pig isn't black. It's what caught my eye when I bought it . Dream Black , yea I like that
I've decided to leave the wheels the original color for now , having them repaired on Monday. They were scuffed up on passenger side when I bought the truck. Hoping they turn out ok

Gotta second the Dark Green Metallic. Sorry, cab&coupe posted the color chart for the new Cayenne, not an '06...
