A deep, blue-green metallic that occupies the unique intersection between teal and forest green — dark enough to approach black in overcast conditions while revealing a cool, complex blue-green depth in direct light — Dark Teal Metallic (Lagogrün Metallic, code M6W) carries a German name meaning 'lake green,' evoking the dark, cool blue-green of deep Alpine water. Rennbow records an isolated early appearance on the 356 in 1957, then a modern reappearance on the 911 and Boxster from 2003 to 2004 and 2006–07, the Cayenne in 2006, and the Cayman in 2006–07. Color N Drive's cross-reference of the M6W/G4 code confirms the formula has been available through PTS across all modern platforms for an extended period. The hex #153A36 confirms a very dark teal, closer to a very deep green with blue undertones than to a lighter, more conventional teal. Its dual historical touchpoints (1957 356 and 2000s modern models) give it an unusual depth of lineage for a color with a modest standard-catalogue presence.
