Avocado Green Metallic is a deep, dark blue-green metallic with the earthy, saturated character as the fruit that inspired its name — at #355041 it sits in the darkest-green register, carrying a noticeable blue component that prevents it from reading as a pure forest green. In direct light the metallic flake reveals complexity and depth; in shade the color darkens toward near-black. Avocado Green Metallic (Avocadogrün Metallic, code Z6R) is available through Porsche's Paint to Sample program with no confirmed standard production year range. Two documented community examples reflect its extreme rarity — one of the darkest and most unusual greens in the PTS catalogue.
