89 Avalon Green Metallic is a very dark, almost military green metallic with a muted, complex character — at #4e5d66 it reads as a dark grey-green that could be mistaken for a dark grey in certain lighting before revealing its green identity more clearly in direct sun. The metallic flake adds texture without brightness, keeping the overall impression serious and composed. Like all "89" prefix colors, this originated in the VAG Group's shared color palette and came to Porsche exclusively via the Paint to Sample program. Its dark, understated character suits the more aggressive Porsche body styles particularly well.
