Default Original Factory 2.3-2.5 ST Colours?

Anyone have data about the colours of the original 2.3 & 2.5 ST factory built ST's?

Building a replica from a 1971 long hood and want the colours to be of period and correct.

Going to bare metal so I can have any colour but ideally one that was on the ~24 factory cars!

Thanks in advance!

I have dreams of a similar project, here are some links:

At least one was yellow "original code 117 color", https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/chri...rth-14285.html

https://soldbyauctions.com/homes/adv...TOFMtUzRZCmAK/

Unsure which red - https://rmsothebys.com/en/home/priva...1-st-23/726410

Looks like there was a white, blue, & possibly tangerine too - https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/cg/6...11-ST-2.5.html

Yes, classic color. I like that the ST was done with flares and narrow body. Are you flaring out the fenders?

So i’m going to flare out the front and rears but go with hand hammered arches (old school) front and RS arches hammered out at the rear rather than the flat sides ‘slim’ flares most people use (turbo or RSR type). More like the originals and a bit more subtle than the bulbous arches that are popular right now!

I don't know if this was a factory ST color but I think it looks great.
