Havana Black Metallic

Havana Black Metallic (Havanaschwarz Metallic, code Y8X) is a deep, nearly black metallic at #3D3A3B with a warm brown undertone that distinguishes it from the cool or violet-tinted near-blacks in Porsche's catalogue. Rennbow describes it as a rich, warm, sophisticated colour that appears as a deep saturated black with a pronounced brown undertone, noting that unlike other metallic blacks that may have bluish or violet undertones, Havana Black Metallic gets its earthy character from its subtle brown hue — a nod to Havana, Cuba, known for its warm, earthy colours. The colour originated in Audi's palette, where its code is LY8X or 4J, and was incorporated into Porsche's 2023 PTS programme. Porsche's description adds that the colour appears almost black in certain lighting and has a subtle sophistication created by a touch of red and orange in its formulation. Four documented community examples in the database reflect its presence as a PTS choice for buyers seeking black with warmth.
