Metallic Dark Green

Metallic Dark Green (code 62109) is a deep, richly saturated dark green metallic from the early Porsche era — a color from the 1960s and early 1970s that sits in the dark, forest register of the green spectrum with a metallic grain that adds depth and surface complexity to the base color. As an early-production code, it represents Porsche's first-generation metallic offerings — technically simpler metallics than the later flake-and-flop finishes, producing a fine, quiet shimmer rather than dramatic reflective effects. Dark green metallics from this period are associated with the classic European sports car tradition of the 1960s, when deep greens in metallic form represented the sophisticated end of the color spectrum. As a code from the 62xxx series associated with early 911 and 912 production, surviving original-paint examples in this color require specialist color matching and factory documentation for authentication. The color's rarity places it in the category of period-correct finishes that command significant research investment from concours restorers.
