Beryll Metallic is a vivid teal-turquoise metallic — at #3BCAC8 it is a bright, electric blue-green that reads clearly as turquoise, with a metallic finish that gives the surface a gemstone-like luminosity. The name references beryl, the mineral family that includes emerald and aquamarine — and the color's character aligns most closely with aquamarine beryl. The database lists an unusual code format (2D494WBL) which suggests a cross-referenced or historical code. With one documented community car it sits among the rarest entries in the database. The vivid, gem-quality turquoise of this color would make it immediately striking on any Porsche.
