Peel Out!: All the Shades of Orange Offered by Porsche
 

In honor of Dave (Coochas) ordering an Orange 997 Turbo, I have decided to post up all the shades of Orange that Porsche has painted on its cars over the years. There's not a lot of them (10 in total from what I've been able to find). And frankly, they all kinda look alike, except for Signal Orange.

This will be the last in the U-Boat series of color threads. I haven't done the whites, blacks, silvers or greys. But at the end of the day, the variations in those colors are not suficient to make a color thread that interesting. Someone could probably twist my arm though to do the greys. . .

Amber (No example)

Blood Orange

3. Continental Orange
4. Gulf Orange
5. Nepal Orange
6. Orange (GT3RS)
7. Orange Pearl
8. Signal Orange
9. Tangerine
10. Terra Cotta

I like the gulf orange.

That pic of gulf orange is just bizarre. It looks nothing like that pic, it's actually kind of pastel and milky. Here's another pic of gulf orange, they look like two totally different colors. Must be the lighting

^ That's Continental Orange.

BTW, for comparison's sake, here's Signal Yellow vs. Signal Orange. Yes, they are very close.

Thanks for putting this together!

Yep. My bad. I thought for some reason that gulf was much more pastel. Gulf has an uncanny resemblance to blood.

BTW, Blood Orange was 1969-1972, Continental Orange was 1975-1976 and Signal Orange was 1968-1974. Porsche also made Gulf Orange in 1972-1973 but I haven't been able to find an example.

Actually, guys, I don't think that 993 was Gulf Orange. There was a Pearl Orange in 1995-1996 and that must have been it. I'm going to fix the thread.

Supposedly, this 930 is a special order Orange Pearl Metallic.

Isnt that salmon metallic ?

I can see that now.
I like the Signal Orange more than the Signal Yellow. Still I think I might keep my Orange more mainstream (i.e. 'RS' Orange).

Yes and its more raw, I know you might be leaning on the more fruitier and brighter orange like the RS which looks might amazing in the flesh.

More Orange

^ Uh well, that's Nordic Gold (i.e., not orange). But great first post.

It looks close. But I think the Salmon is more pinkish.

Thank you, option B is better.

I know this car - it's owned by guy in Northern VA. He's got it built to dominate auto-x.

Always loved this one since I saw it years ago on Sloan's website!

I am loving this Blood Orange color.... is it a Porsche color or adopted by Porsche?

New RSR in town, lock up your kids..

^ Is that yours?! It's amazing

I'm shocked no one has posted any of the RWB oranges yet. I know they are not "from the factory" but worth posting anyway.
