    Re: Horizon Blue

    nt,--some dealers DO keep some of the old color charts around in their service departments. The turn over in salesmen is generally high with Porsche so you may have to find an old one who knows that older color charts ARE available within the dealership. They might have to do a little work to find them.

    What I also suggest to people who are thinking about going with a custom color is (1) go with a color that Porsche has done before sometime and (2) order a tube or can of it from Paintscratch.com or any other competent paint company so that you can see it in real life. $10 is cheap insurance to find out if its a color you will like. Spray that on a large board for yourself to evaluate.

    Seems like bumperplugs might be able to help as well. Have them spray a copuple of contact sheets (for lack of a better term) say a good 4x4 or 6x6, and mail them to you. Eric?

    Here is old Porsche color #114 Sgnal Yellow on a paint-to-sample 996TT



    Here is a comparison shot between Signal Yellow on a 996TT (rear) and a Speed Yellow 996 GT2 (foreground).



    In the comparison pic above there is a color sample sheet on the hood of the TT that is Fayence Yellow from the CGT color range.

    Re: Horizon Blue

    Most pointless paint-to-sample ever... Ferrari Grigio Titanio?

    Unless you had a 550 Maranello to match, I suppose..

    Re: Horizon Blue

    Polar Silver -

    Re: Grigio Titanio pointless?

    I love it. Clean medium gray; no hints of blue or brown or yellow or anything. Very elegant. I also like (for similar reasons) BMW's Siver Gray Metallic.

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    How about pink? Does any one know if this is an old factory color & what the official name is?

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Rubystone was an old 964RS colour - very brash, but more towards purple than pink.

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    and then of course theres Coral Red - quite a rare shade on 964s


    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    But if you really must have pink, don't go with sand beige interior..

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Olive metallic with cocoa interior.

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Nice!

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Very nice, thanks for the pics !

    Is it a Cocoa top to ?

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Hi there I just love this Baltic blue color. I am going to go for it even if in Greece it cost about 6.800 Euros....
    Now do you have any other pictures of this baltic blue ?

    It would be nice.
    Thanks

    No, it's black top. But still, I would have never thought of such combo. I guess we got brain washed these past few years, listening to others about what's cool (grey and black) and what's not.

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Great combination. Dark Olive w/ Cocoa. I pick up my C4S Cab next week (per other post) with the same combination, but with a cocoa top.
    I did it to try and get something totally unique, now I am glad I did.

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    An interesting green; I quite like it from these pictures:

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    My two cents: Would look really nice if the interior were black. Black because the current light-colored one competes for attention. This green is a subtle, kinda quiet color (I like it!); the interior steps all over it.

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Baltic Blue, very nice

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Straying away from the 997 now, but in the interests of keeping all these pictures in one place: a blue Cayman:

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Top!

    Well..., at least he (she?) got the interior color right.

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    here's another Dk Olive for you

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Odd but strangely attractive bronze, perhaps nicer with Cocoa interior:

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    That last pic is awesome! Especially with the same colored 356 next to it!
    MHK, could you please post pics of your car, preferably in good lighting with the hood open and closed?
    I love the dark olive, and I love cocoa, looking forward to seeing pics of the combination!
