Lime Gold Metallic is a vivid, warm yellow-gold metallic that combines the chromatic energy of lime yellow with a warm golden undertone — a bright, slightly acidic gold that reads as more assertive than Nordic Gold and more metallic than plain Lime Yellow. It belongs to the late-1970s and early-1980s family of warm gold metallics that Porsche offered as alternatives to both solid yellows and cooler silvers, occupying a specific register that appeals to buyers who want warmth and visibility without committing to a full-intensity solid. As a metallic finish with a fine grain, it adds depth to the warm gold character without the shimmer becoming dominant — the color leads, the metallic grain supports. Its production footprint and specific model years are not exhaustively documented in all major databases, suggesting it may have occupied a limited or market-specific position in the palette rather than appearing broadly across the standard catalog. Surviving examples are uncommon, and the color's unusual positioning between gold and lime adds to its interest for enthusiasts who research period-correct specifications.
