Lagoon Green Metallic

Lagoon Green Metallic (Lagunengrün Metallic, code 35Y) is a pale, cool turquoise-green metallic at #6B858E — a colour that looks more blue than green under most lighting conditions, behaving as a light metallic turquoise that evokes still, clear water rather than any conventional automotive green. Rennbow documents it on the 911 Carrera from 1987 to 1988, on the 911 in 1990 and 1992–1993, on the 928 in 1987–1988 and 1993, and on the 968 in 1992 — a multi-decade presence with gaps, indicating it was a selectively reintroduced colour rather than a continuously offered one. Color research confirms it first appeared in the 1987 model year as a special order, and that despite its PTS availability since 2015 on the 991 generation 911, it has not been commonly seen in production. Ten documented community examples reflect both its intermittent production history and the appeal it holds for the buyers who know it — an unusual, water-referencing colour at the cool, sophisticated end of the green-blue spectrum.
