Does this look like leaf green? Guntherwerks called it Greenwich (the car and the color), which may be because it's a custom color... or they just want to keep it a secret.

Hi, from the info I see:
"...military-looking green paint is known as Auratium Green..."
I do not think the military uses this type of green, but it is a very nice color !!!

Thanks Frank. When I googled auratium green it certainly looks very similar to the images of auratium green metallic that come up, not so much the darker shade on the 356 (although that may be the light). The paint looks flat not metallic though.

Looks close to the early 911 Ice Green. If not exactly then it's still a color I think you'd be happy with.

Leaf Green from the 911T longhood is very close. One of my favorites.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

It’s nuts how many similar shades of green Porsche has. Plus the fact it totally depends what light you see them in.

When I had a 928, I always wished it was that color.

OP's car pix remind me of the green on forestry service vehicles, except with a lot more luster. Looks nice. In the chart, looks like the pastel mint green (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

@sixnotfour

That’s a great looking car. Continuing the “all these greens look very similar” theme, It kind of looks like chartreuse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
