A deep, dark, British-tradition green that carries its own specific heritage from British motor racing — Connaught Green (code Y21) takes its name from the Connaught Engineering racing team, which competed in Formula One in the early-to-mid 1950s. The Wikipedia BRG entry provides the ICI color specification for Connaught Green: Deep Brunswick Green 40%, Light Brunswick Green 32%, Black 28%, Yellow Oxide trace — confirming a very dark, near-black green with significant depth. Colors.rs records it on the 911 from 2008 to 2011. Morgan cars use a 'Morgan Connaught Green' (M026) as their primary dark British Racing Green variant, and the color has been adopted across British car culture as a specific subtype of the BRG family. Its deep, near-black character makes it one of the more dramatically dark greens available in Porsche's extensive green catalogue, and for the 997 generation 911 it offered buyers a historically anchored alternative to the more familiar British Racing Green.
