It aint easy being green

I know somebody who just bought a green Porsche, 'bout as plentiful as green Harleys. Not sure what the color is called. Kind of a blue green, anyone have any clue what it might be called?

Year (close, at least) and model would be helpful.

Picture? Could be a PTS car or even a wrap based on the color description.

A car I'd like to own some day is a 2009 Jaguar XKR in Emerald Fire.

I've yet to ever see one for sale.
Most emerald fire cars are 2007 MY.
The depression of 2008 caused a slump in bright colors.

But with that car in that color I'd have to not take it out if I were in the mood to be left alone.
On some cars the right green is spectacular.

On a side note, I've yet to meet a person that had a green car as their daily driver that wasn't wierd.

None of those are blue green though. No clue what color the Op could be talking about without seeing it or the paint code.

www.rennbow.org will have it.


Edit, maybe malachite? It looks blueish in some light.

I daily drove one like this. Loved the color, had green interior to match . Drove it one winter on MT racemaster tires, because I was dirt broke and it was all I had that held air .
Drove it to New Smyrna Beach too! , longest noisiest ride of my life .
yeah, I'm a little off kilter

I'm going to say it must be a paint to sample/custom color.

Hard to tell given that it’s a pic of a monitor. I agree with Miami. But it could be BMW Laguna seca blue.

Could it be Turquoise Green Metallic? My 2000 C2 was a L999 “Paint to Sample.” The color was offered in 1996 on the 993 models. The factory Name/designation was Turquoise Green Metallic / 25D

Same car. . . different lighting

My 08 Cayman has a paint code inside the gas door. If you get the code you can look it up.
