Events like Air|Water bring a wave of vibrant colors from the Porsche community. When it’s thoughtfully curated, it feels like being a kid in a candy store. @PTSRS and Air|Water teamed up to present “Colors of Air|Water,” and we spent hours capturing content for our site. The rain didn’t stop us. It added mood and contrast, bringing each color to life in both overcast light and the bright California sun.

We continue the series with a standout solo feature: a 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring in Paint to Sample Oak Green Metallic. Everyone has their own definition of the perfect spec, but this one feels universally right. On her Bramo profile, Hannah shares, “Purchased in July 2024. My second 911, but my first GT3. Specifically bought this GT3 T for its stellar ownership history—low 6k mileage, perfect DME report, serviced and driven with care. PTS Oak Green Metallic. Understated and classy without the wing. My Porsche addiction started when I first drove my 991.2 7MT 911 Carrera T. I’m at my happiest while I’m behind the wheel of my 911s.”

Understated and classy without the wing? We couldn’t agree more.

Oak Green Metallic (oakgrünmetallic; metallic uni; 265 / 22L / 60K) is a classic Porsche shade rooted in the brand’s 1980s and 1990s catalog. Though offered as a standard color during that era, it remained relatively uncommon. Today, it returns through Porsche’s Paint to Sample program, preserving its distinctive character as an elegant green with prominent gold flake and a warmer tone than its modern counterpart, Oak Green Metallic Neo. Its rarity and vintage appeal have made it a favorite among enthusiasts aiming to evoke Porsche heritage with a timeless factory-correct look.

Color Focus: Porsche Oak Green Metallic Neo – M6E

A modern reformulation of a classic color, Oak Green Metallic Neo (oakgrünneo; metallic; M6E; Porsche) harks Porsche’s Oak Green Metallic of the 80s and 90s that was offered in that period as a standard though remained rare. Today’s reformulation, thus the “Neo” in Porsche parlance, appears to be close but not exact. It was a standard launch color for the Porsche Macan Electric and the launch photo spec for the 992.2 GT3 Touring, so not widely seen in person at the time of this writing. Those familiar with the original who have seen it in person report it has a bit less gold tones and metallic flake than the original.
