Ice Green Metallic

Ice Green Metallic (Silbergründiamant, code 266) is a muted, silvered green solid at #79918E — a cool, grey-green tone that in many lights reads as closer to a desaturated metallic silver than to any conventional automotive green, with just enough green pigment to distinguish it from purely grey or blue alternatives. The German designation Silbergründiamant translates as silver-green diamond, which captures the colour's nature precisely: a green so diluted with silver that the two identities compete, producing a shifting, light-reactive quality that is characteristically mid-1970s Porsche. Color research confirms Ice Green Metallic goes back to model year 1974, carrying paint code 250 before transitioning to code 266 from 1976, and was also known as Silver Green Diamond Metallic. Three documented community examples confirm it as a selectively ordered colour among the air-cooled 911 palette of the period. The colour represents a transitional moment in Porsche's palette — the early 1970s enthusiasm for metallic finishes applied to a green family that would evolve into the oakier, richer greens of later decades.
