    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Has anyone heard of the colour to sample MOONSTONE? In 1978 I purchased a new 911 SC that color, it was unreal. It was a white pearl colour with a faint purple shadow in certain lights, very unusual.

    Moonstone was a Porsche Family color for several years,--restricted to the Porsche family cars ONLY.

    A friend of mine purchased a used 928 in that color from a family member. Later that year I saw the same color on a 924 on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills!

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Hellgelb,
    Thanks for the additional pic. I love those pictures in which you see the resemblances between old and new porsches.
    BTW, I think it is pretty cool to have a "family color"... makes it even more special!

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Dan - what are your thoughts re. the Gulf Blue 997TT that I posted in that forum ? I know you love your current car - but was that not your first choice, deemed 'impossible' by Porsche ?

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Perhaps Joost could find out?

    And nowadays you can get Moonstone for BMW's as Individual order. Quite striking color for a big sedan, it would be interesting to see a 997 with that color.

    That Cayman S is the same as my 997S--Blue Turquoise. 34A, a 1996-7 993 and Boxster color.

    "African Queen Metallic"





    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Looks like the color all those VW gulf ricer wannabes have...

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Could someone possibly i.d. this color please?


    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Iris blue w/ linen interior on a 993 Targa?

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Looks like Zenith blue to me. Interior is definitely Marble Grey (which was a bicolor setup, with a black top half).

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    i'm in love with the Gulf blue GT3.

    Really nice colors and congratulations for the research. Thank's

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Thanks guys, I think that color on the 993 Targa is fantastic, kind of a cross between today's cobalt and midnight blue.

    +1
    Zenith blue is very sensitive to lighting conditions. Sometimes it looks like a plain blue much closer to cobalt blue than iris blue, sometimes like purple blue. See the 993 pictures in my gallery.

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    here the nicest color in my opinion!

    Here's a bash at Gulf Blue on a GT3. Although as DanL said - I doubt they'll do it.

    You could always buy a white one and have race car 'sponsor' coating applied (?)

    Dan - I don't suppose you have the Porsche 'Verbotten' list to share with us ?



    I really like gulf blue for GT3, but haven't seen one in real pic.

    Why Porsche refuse to paint that for GT3?

    Re: Some different colour-to-sample

    Hi Rantanplan, is than is the one call "Rolex Green"?
