I have been trying for a while to definitely verify which green

We have seen that car with Slovakian Plates in the same parking

The color is reported to be 'British Racing Green'.

Certainly this car did not have a Belgian plate like the one in Squid's
photo:

This other photo found in the internet reveals the actual licence
plate...and identifies the color.

And this other photo from the Instagram pages of Will Lee adds more
information to collaborate as to its exterior color:

Has anyone asked for and been rejected (or accepted) for leaf green circa 1970 Porsche color?

No one, to my knowlege, has requested & obtained
a feasibility study for this stunning solid/uni color on
the 991/981/718 model.



Thus it doesn't appear on the approved PTS list, either
as approved, rejected or under feasibility study.

The historic color codes for this color are as follows:

Well, here is hoping my PTS allocation comes in. I think it would look good with the black trim and such on a GT3.

No doubt a 'Leaf Green' .2 991 gt3 would look
dashing, evilfij. The problem for you is that to
get a new color approved for PTS might take
years at PAG. So I would start pushing to get
that feasibility study going ASAP. I assume you
have contacts at high places in Zuffenhausen,
correct? Or your surname is 'Piëch'?

I bet you went through many Jeepneys, Tangas &

a start in the Star 8 'Waste Management' model (see

yours! Was that you by chance?



I see your vehicle has the optional air conditioning.
That is pure luxury, dude! And yes, I know you want
to ask, the color of your Tuk-Tuk is a cross between
'Signal Green' & 'Gelbgrün'. Wise choice! No wonder
your fascination with this PTS thread.

Different cultures. 'Color' is part & parcel of your
adopted country's mobile transportation infrastructure:

In Germany, it is not!

Not in particular. But I am patient and persistent and very nice. Can't hurt to try.

Default 'Diligence' trumps 'Very Nice'!

'Patience' is noble. 'Persistence' is admirable.
But 'Very Nice' is, in my opinion, over-rated. In
the good old days, being 'very nice' & a token...




...used to get you a ride in a NYC subway.
Today, neither will do. You need a damn MetroCard!

So a friendly word of advice to you & anybody else
here at Rennlist that would love see his/her 'dream'
color approved by PAG for PTS in time for a future
allocation. You need to add a new word to your
vocabulary - 'diligence', as in 'do your due diligence'.
You first need to build good relations with a Porsche
dealer that has connections with Porsche Exclusive in
Atlanta or Zuffenhausen. Or built that rapport yourself
with staff at PCNA or PAG. Then they might be able
to get the ball rolling on a PTS feasibility study EVEN
before you have that gt3 allocation in hand & a firm
Commission # in your Safe Deposit. Many Porsche
customers worldwide are requesting new PTS colors
& are having feasibility studies done on them. And
many of these colors are getting approved! That is
why the Approved PTS list, published & frequently
updated by PAG, gets longer everytime a new edition
comes out! But not many PTS feasibility requests, I
regret to say, are coming from Porsche customers or
P-Dealers in North America.
That needs to change!

But here is at least one success story of how one
individual here at Rennlist got 'his' color, 'Chartreuse'
/'Lindgrün', approved by PAG:

https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...-approved.html

So word-to-the-wise, 'do your due diligence' early on
re: a PTS color you don't yet see on the approved list!

Wise Eduardo,

Do you know anything about the NSX blue, Nouvelle Blue Pearl? From pictures I thought it was a lot like Aqua but I saw one yesterday and it looked all irridescent in the sun, much more than I realized. Can you PTS in a color like that?
