I defer to Jim for obvious reasons and will update my notes. Man, thats a great car!

[Jim Richards]

Thanks Sherman!


I need to take a pic with the front bumperettes gone. Much cleaner look nowadays.

Try this link and check out aubergine(French for eggplant) and Flieder(German for lilac) in the 1972-73 color examples

Flieder looks cool.

[rdane]

Thanks guys. Here is another. How many colors of Purple and yellow are there?

Is this speed yellow or fly yellow or something else again?

[Jim Richards]

I think this Periwinkle'ish color was called Moonstone:

[Shuie]

That is close to Signal Yellow (114). Maybe a little too bright.

edit: thats not signal yellow. I'll keep looking

[rdane]

It is Papaya Orange, what do ya think for a 911?

[Shuie]

Now THAT is real close to Signal Yellow

[rdane]

This is nice as well. lindgrün. 226
Not so good with a cork and black interior though. Yellow or purple would be I think.

Sherman what is the orange color on the RSR? Vey nice!

[Shuie]

I think its Signal Yellow. It does have an orangish tinge to it.

OH, yeah!

Mexico Blue was once my favorite Porsche color, but fishcop's early ride changed my mind.
