Market Find: Special Wishes Pearlescent White Porsche 911 / 964 Turbo Headed to Broad Arrow Auction at The Amelia
Hit up sites like Porsche Club North America's Rennbow paint resource and you'll see Pearl White Metallic was a color that began in the 1980s on cars like the 928 and 944, though Broad Arrow also shares in this car's Lot description an even more exotic Porsche history for this metallic shade of white. You see, it was also sprayed onto more spotlighted debuts such as the 956 sports racing prototype, the 959 "Gruppe B" concept that previewed the 959, the 911 Speedster Studie, and even the 924 Carrera prototype, all in this distinctive paint. Not surprisingly given the popular use by Porsche at auto shows, Pearl White Metallic was most definitely available in the brand's Paint to Sample program.
Market Find: 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupé in Ocean Jade Green Metallic on Bring a Trailer
We're always fans of Paint to Sample Porsche 911s of every ilk, but the older you go then the rarer it is to find Paint to Sample (PTS) and that makes them extra special. PTS wasn't unheard of in the 993 era by any stretch, but it's not like today when it seems like every other GT car allotment turns into a commissioned build by a rich client. That's the context that we share with you this 1997 911 Carrera S in Ocean Jade Green Metallic (ozeanjademetallic; metallic uni; L25K; Porsche) over on Bring a Trailer.
Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Nogaro Blue Cayenne Turbo GT

We're suckers for Nogaro Blue, but this Tailored Driver in some ways brings it back to its roots. But rather than be an Audi massaged by Porsche like the RS 2 where Nogaro debuted, this is a Porsche with Audi's 4.0TFSI slightly massaged by Stuttgart.
Market Find: 2016 Porsche Paint to Sample Birch Green Cayman GT4

We've long been fans of the Cayman GT4, and equally fans of the more 'acidic' greens like Lotus's Krypton Green which was one of the less common colors applied to their Exige and Elise models. We're also suckers for detail and theme.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Albert Blue 2024 911 Turbo S Cabriolet
We see a lot of blue Porsches, and we even see a lot of Paint to Sample Porsches, but we don’t see a lot of Albert Blue Porsches. We also don’t see a lot of non-metallic dark and almost navy blue colors, making it even more unique. Albert Blue is believed to have first dropped in 1970 on the F-type “long hood” 911s, and specifying it as was done here is a great nod to a lesser known hue from the Porsche history books.
