Anything that was "paint to sample." The factory would paint a car based on any color provided by the customer.

You harldly ever see a green 3.2L Carrera, but they did make a few. There are probably other shades of green, but here are a few that I remember or have seen: "granite green", "murano green", "moss green", and "lagoon green".

I've seen that granite green in real life and it's awesome. Also, see the other thread on peru red and there's a red velvet metallic that is incredible and apparently extremely rare.
BTW that lagoon green is awesome too. Getting a little tired of my guards red since it's my second 911 in that color.

Looked hard for dark green or dark blue on a 3.2. Never even saw one in the 2 years I was looking. Almost all are red, black or white - even German racing silver was relatively rare it seems. Today is just the reverse of those bright colored times - you look out at a freeway and 19 out of every 20 cars is black, grey, silver, or some slightly colored deep earth shade. Not a yellow or red car to be seen that's new. The wildest seems to be a car with a little bit of blue in its metallic paint.
