Is this Amethyst? Was it paint to sample? I read online that amethyst was only an option on caymans from 2011 and on.

Looks like Carmon Red.

Type Porsche Carmon Red into a google search box.

The OP's photo of this Cayman S (looks like a '10, no? - Photo #1)

Is it 'Carmon Red'? (Photo #2) I don't think so.

'Ruby Red'? (Photo #3) No, I doubt this is it!

'Amethyst'? (Photo #4) Perhaps!

PTS Aubergine 1973 911 color? (photo # 5) Doubt they would have spent time & money to get it and not a match!

cds4402, I truly don't know! I'll go with 'Amethyst' as a guess on a car that has been left parked outside a lot & the paint not well maintained. But thank you for the pm alerting me to this thread!

Unless the Carmon Red for a Cayman is different than that for a 911...

See pic of what is advertised as Carmon Red 911 at the link provided.

Keep in mind that this photo was taken with an iPhone 5, which has a reputation for turning pictures blue/purple. So the color might be slightly off.

I am going with Carmon Red, and by the tail lights it is a 987.1

#1 and #3 are Carmon Red or Carmona Red as they called it in 2007
just the lighting (or the camera) that makes it look different
all of Porsche's metallics change color depending on the ambient lighting
Carmon Red is one of my favorites, looks deep, dark maroon under cloudy or low light conditions

I once had an Ocean Blue Boxster, had just moved to Kansas City. Walked out of the loan closing on our new house to over hear comments about our "purple" Boxster that "obviously belonged to a K-State grad"

I didn't have the heart to tell them my car was blue! and not purple
