Any guesses on this paint color

Closest I can guess is Volcanic Orange from Mini Cooper

Singer usually uses a custom color on their cars.

But, it does look similar to Bahama (as stated) or maybe Signal Yellow.

Here is a site with many of Porsche's yellows: http://www.elferclassic.de/technik/farben/plack-gelb.php

TeamSpeed forum also has browns, yellows, and oranges, amongst other colors.

Definitely looks close to BMW MINI's Volcanic Orange. This is what Singer says on their site about the colors they use:

Quote:
We have meticulously researched and blended 75 colors which we feel complement the classic curves of our machines and recall some of the vivid hues pioneered in the 1960s and 70s. These are all available at no extra charge. Singer uses only the finest Sikkens or PPG color-bases and clear-coats, ensuring a beautiful and durable finish.
Believe they call this particular singer "United Kingdom" if you want to see more of it at their gallery: Singer Vehicle Design | Restored. Reimagined. Reborn

Was just talking to my Sikkens reps today and they just were asking me if I like Singer Porsche's and they were telling me about helping them mix their custom colors
