A very dark, near-black metallic with hidden ruby-red and copper warmth that emerges dramatically in raking light — cool and almost funereal at first glance, but revealing a complex internal depth when the sun strikes it at angle — Copper Ruby Metallic (Kupferrubin Metallic, code M8N) is a tri-stage paint introduced in 2022, confirmed on the Panamera from 2023 to 2024 and the Macan (including the EV variant) from 2023 to 2025. The hex #3A0915 confirms the near-total darkness of the base. The Spray Source describes it as an 'advanced level paint color' requiring a specific undercoat for accurate color reproduction. This technical complexity positions Copper Ruby Metallic firmly among the more demanding and exclusive offerings in Porsche's modern palette. The name's dual reference — to copper's warm metallic warmth and ruby's deep red gemstone depth — captures the dual-register nature of the color precisely.
