Wow, Thanks to all who responded. There is more good advice here than I expected. I decided to pass on the car for many of the reasons mentioned by all of you.
The search will continue as my list of potential colors grow:
78-80 Petrol Blue
86 Iris Blue, Prussian Blue or Arrow Blue
78-80 Olive green or Oak Green Metallic
These are colors approved by my oldest daughter, who will learn to drive manual transmission in it and inherit the car some day. True story, she loved VW Bugs till she saw a 911. I told her "you know why you like 911s?" and proceeded to tell her who designed them, etc.
