From some angle it looks like grey metallic but there is a light green shade from some angle. Interior is black and light grey...

Is there not a paint code on a paper tag stuck underneath the front trunk lid?

Thank you all. You guys are great!
I remember one forum member posted the same color 911 pictures last year but can't locate them now.
I'll check under trunk lid to see if there is color code sticker.

Hi Steely & Kiwiokie,
I think you guys are probably right. It looks like granite green metallic from Teamspeed.com.

I think the paint code is L699, which is the code that appears on my manual.

I know it doesn't look that "green" in the picture, but as I'm sure you know, the color seems to change based on the lighting!
