Most/Least Common Color 911?

[andreas panayio]

I am not sure if mine is continental orange or some other type.
I bought it 6 years ago and of course I have no idea how the colros was 25 years ago.
I about to paint it now and I would rwally like to see how the original paint is. My paint is really faded right now.
Anybody got anything similar?

How about a paint to sample blue that changes color in different lighting?

looks like prussian blue to me.

Here is a pick of my "77 in Ice Green Metallic. It is tough to tell but it has a glass finish and has never seen wax in 4 years. When the restorer painted it for me he put on about 12 coats of clear. He said just a good buffing once a year is all I need.

Leaf Green is a pretty un-common color. Changes to several hues of green depending on the lighting conditions.
One of my favorites

I've seen a few Peru Red 911's in the Seattle/Portland area, but just a few.

There is one more Granite green car on here somewhere, but seems pretty rare.

A M.B. color is a Mercedes Benz color

Well, guess it's not a 911 but it is a custom paint job on a Porsche www.officialjanis.com/porsche.html

Fun thread to read

Man, there is NOTHING as nice as an early car in Leaf Green. I like a lot of the early colors a lot - Irish Green, AUbergine, Signal Orange...but Leaf Green has to be my absolute favorite.
