Color Focus: Aston Martin Racing Green – AST1140
The story of Aston Martin Racing Green likely begins with England's pre-war national racing color of British Racing Green. At a time when top-tier racing represented pride in one's nation, blue stood for France, red for Italy, white (the silver) for Germany, yellow for Belgium, white with blue stripes for the USA and for England... green.
Color Focus: Porsche Brewster Green – 22B
Some say Porsche's non-metallic Brewster Green (brewstergrün; nonmetallic UNI; 22B; Porsche) is Stuttgart's take on British Racing Green. However, we'd suggest it's just another shade by Stuttgart of England's original national racing color. Where Irish Green goes just a bight lighter than a lot of traditional British Racing Greens, Brewster Green goes a bit darker. In lower light it can sometimes even look black, though under direct light the green hue and the relationship to the British national racing color is undeniable.
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.
