That's what I noticed when I was looking for mine. One of the things I looked for was a 'colour'. I didn't want those non-colours like black, silver or white. Or guards red, for that matter. The Marine Blue that I have is rather dark and some might say sober, but it's a real colour. In the bright sunlight it jumps out at you, and in evening sun, it almost looks greenish.

I am surprised to not see a Lagoon Green metallic (L35Y) example here yet- I think it was a relatively rare and short-lived color, but I know that there are a couple of other Pelicans who share the color with my Targa.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

I think Aventurine is fairly rare, at least as much so as some others posted. It really changes looks depending on light.

Don't see many of the older Burgundy cars. One of my favourite colours. Here's my '71 911T in original burgundy (2424).
