Barnato Green is a deep, very dark green metallic at #313a3a — so deep it reads almost as a dark charcoal-green in most conditions, revealing its green identity only in direct light where the metallic flake fires and the color's rich depth becomes apparent. The backstory is genuinely compelling. The color is named after Diana Barnato Walker — a British test pilot and the first woman to fly faster than the speed of sound — and through her, honors her father Woolf Barnato, chairman of Bentley Motors and member of the legendary "Bentley Boys" racing team. Woolf Barnato is the only driver to have won the 24 Hours of Le Mans every time he entered — three times, in 1928, 1929, and 1930 — a record that has never been equalled. The color itself originates from Bentley's palette (code LK6A), before being adopted into Porsche's PTS catalogue from 2024 onward. As a PTS-only offering on the 911, it carries one of the finest names — and stories — of any color in the entire Porsche catalogue.
