Tangerine or Continental Side By Side???
I'm losing sleep over this color decision on my restoration project. I'm stuck between tangerine and continental. Does anybody have a side-by-side photo of the two colors, or a color chart of the two colors together.

I found this through searches, but no Continental. Digital images and light mixes distort colors a lot. In separate photos they can look completely different or exactly the same. That's why I was hoping to see a picture of the two colors together.

I think it goes in this order from left to right (correct me if I'm wrong). Tangerine, Bahama, Signal, Gulf.

I told ya #2 was Signal! Everyone knows that. Subtle, like the yellow of the same breed....and a very cool color, like Corona beer.....not like Corona Beer, but cool as in equally cool...?
#3 is Cont./Tang.....Gulf is Signal.... #5 is a fake. Looks GP White....

That's the same chips set! I found it on another board. According to the poster:
"The color chip shows Tangerine, Signal, GT3, and Gulf orange in that order" Still, no Continental orange.

ok, check this one out:
Show me your continental orange page 2 has the paint codes.. Tangerine or Blood orange is the closest color to a 'real' orange. |

Picking a color on a complete bare-metal restoration is one of the toughest decisions I've had to make in a long time. Insomnia inducing....

I've waffled from Viper to Signal for the 8 years I've owned the 72. Originally a Sepia, but no longer......I can't get myself to pay $7k to make the car less liked by the mass population with a brown car again. ( I personally like grey and brown 911's of vintage, but.......)
My boys laugh at me too

 hi, not sure if this is the right info but drivers side door stamped reads 410-l car has never been repainted i am second owner.always been told signal orange so is it signal orange or? (photos have a little more contrast as its getting a little dark now). regardless i think this is one of the nicest porsche color, but i am partial to the older non metallics of the 50s early 70s cars............regards, ben Last edited by 56 nomad; 12-11-2011 at 02:26 PM.. |
