Does exactly what the name promises—delivers the deep, rich darkness of old-growth woods. This metallic finish has enjoyed remarkable longevity across Porsche's lineup, spanning nearly three decades from the late 80s through 2019. The depth and richness make it particularly striking on 911s and mid-engine cars.
