Guards Red (a.k.a. "India Red") is maybe the most Porsche of Porsche colors. No, it's not a quirky shade nor has it got "Signal" in the name, but it is perhaps the most ubiquitous. It seems like half the Porsches delivered in the 1980s could have been Guards Red, a time when it was not uncommon for owners of less desirably colored Porsches to respray their non-red Porsche to fit in.
