Mint Green (Dark) (Minzgrün Dunkel) is a muted, deeper version of Porsche's mint green family — a cool-toned, sage-adjacent green that reads as more composed and darker than the light Mint Green (22R) while retaining the same blue-green, herbal quality that distinguishes mint greens from yellow-greens or warm olive shades. The hex value places it firmly in the grey-green teal zone, giving it a quality closer to sage or eucalyptus than to brighter botanical greens. This deeper mint variant appears to have occupied a more specialized or limited position in the palette, with less extensive model documentation than the lighter Mint Green, and its specific production years are not clearly established in the major color databases. The distinction from the standard Mint Green relates to depth and saturation rather than hue — it is essentially the same cool blue-green family at a darker value. Cars wearing this color tend to read as sophisticated and unusual in the secondary market, occupying the understated end of the green spectrum while maintaining enough chromatic identity to reward close attention.
