Chances are you’ve probably seen your fill of silver, black, white, red and grey Porsches. There’s nothing wrong with a Porsche in these standard skins. In fact, they’re all great choices and popular for a reason. However, I’ve always been a fan of the more unique colored Porsches. I like Signal Green, Tangerine Orange, Riviera Blue, etc. I like both bright and muted metallics (just look at my Cayenne or John’s 993) and I even like some of the stranger “paint to sample” examples you see now and then.
Here’s what I want to know, what’s the most unique Porsche color you’ve ever seen? Do you know the name, have a paint code? Let us know by commenting on this post and if you have a picture, send it to us at paintcolors at flatsixes.com or post it on the wall of our Facebook page

I own an love the paint code F1F1 Silver Rose on the 1988 944 Turbo S. Great color that appears to change as the light changes all day.
Hi Scott,
Could you tell me if the colour of your 944 Turbo is a variation of silver/blue metallic, as I have been try to obtain a paint code for this rare colour?
Kind regards
Nigel
Coral Red Mettalic on my 1991 928GT - it also changes depending on the light conditions
My 2006 Cayman S is mid night blue metallic , since the day I picked up the car the first words I hear from guys are ..WOW great car & great color, from ladies , that is a beautiful color , is that a Porsche ??
My '86 Carrera...color to sample, Viper Green Diamond. A metallic version of the '73 RS green.
I once had a '74 911 coupe in *Ice Green Metallic*.....very similar to the green mist metallic '68 Pontiac GTO of my youth. btw, I also had one of the original '88 944 Turbo S Limited Edition (Silver Rose Metallic).
My 996 is whatever blue and then when the Sun hits it it look blue purplish!!! I didn't see that when I bough it. It was a cloudy day. I guess I'll find out when I get my certificate of authenticity.
A fellow club member has a 997 Turbo in Zanzibar, a kind of understated reddish-orange PTS color that was once offered in 1999 as an option.
@Chuck, we'll have to look that one up. The Champaigne Yellow from Jean-Claude is a very interesting color. Looks very creame like. I'm hoping readers send in some interesting browns too.
Champagne Yellow (6822L) on a 1970 911E is rare (paint to sample). And it's the original paint!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/jazzman59/911E%201970/CircuitGillesVilleneuve12.jpg
