    Porsche can do any colour. However there is a cost associated.

    Remember, the Audi color uses mica flakes for a pearlescent effect, while Porsche (custom paint excluded) uses aluminum flakes for a metallic effect.

    Therefore, a pearl paint job will exhibit different characteristics in sunlight than a metallic finish.

    This car is definitely Seal, not Atlas. Atlas is very dark, almost blackish.
    Seal has been replaced by Meteor, so it'll be your best guess.

    I guess this one is Atlas then? This one is also labelled Atlas and so was the other one so it must be mislabled)

    I think it is Atlas, but lighting is bad so it might be Seal.
    Atlas is a dark grey with a hint of blue.

    This one is definitely Atlas:

    Speaking of Atlas, I'd have ordered it if only we had more consistent sunshine around here. Direct sunlight renders Atlas into pure sculpture. Favorite quote- one of the magazines referred to their test-drive (Atlas grey) 997S' paint color as 'liquid metal'...hopefully Meteor rolls out with that same vibe.

    Porsche doesn't know themselves if they can paint a color that you chose. They will have to study it for awhile. Usually they get back to you in about 60 days to tell you if your choice is doable. Plan on some delays, or pick a standard color that is close to the Audi shade,--there are several that are close.
