Ipanema Brown Metallic

Ipanema Brown Metallic (Ipanemabraun Metallic, code Y8Y) is a rich, shifting brown metallic at #B26B30 — a warm, medium-dark brown with orange undertones that makes it read as burnt sienna or terracotta in direct sunlight before settling into a deeper, richer chocolate brown in shade. Rennbow describes it as a rich brown that appears burnt orange in direct light and shifts to a deeper, decadent brown in shadow — a PTS colour inspired by the vibrant atmosphere of the Ipanema district in Rio de Janeiro, with Porsche noting it symbolises stability and the South American attitude to life. The colour originated in Audi's palette before being made available to Porsche customers through the PTS programme. Third-party paint records confirm the VAG family code as LY8Y, with the colour appearing across the Volkswagen Audi Group's broader range since approximately 2010. Four documented community examples reflect both the colour's Audi-group heritage and its growing visibility as a PTS option across multiple Porsche models.
