As far as I know the modern PTS option still has names and paint codes.

Point is a dealer should be able to get you the info using the VIN or the build sticker that is usually under the hood (or elsewhere depending on year/model) if it's still there.

I looked at a metallic orange 88 turbo cab about 10 years ago, and it had the 9999 pts code, no name. That's why I wondered how you touchup paint.

As others have pointed out, PTS is an option you ordered and the car was painted at the factory. Your order has to fall within the window of when Porsche is doing a run for PTS cars. You pick from a list of approved colors by model. Porsche does still have a true ‘to sample’ option but you have to pay them to do a feasibility study and you may or may not get approval. I have no idea how you get on that list, assume you have to be a heavy hitter.

Looks like a great color on your Cayman. It’s hard to tell in that photo you provided but reminds me of Murano green.

That appears to be the exact same color as my wife's Cayman
