Mocha Black

Mocha Black (Moccaschwarz, code LM9V) is a very dark, near-black brown solid — a finish so dark that in most conditions it reads as an unusual, slightly warm-tinged black, revealing its deep brown character only in direct strong light. The name on some Porsche documentation varies between Mocha Black and Mocha Brown depending on market and model year — the codes LM9V and 451 both refer to the same formulation, with 451 appearing as Mocha Brown in some references and LM9V as Mocha Black in others. It was available on the 911 SC from 1978 to 1982, the 911 Turbo in 1982, the 924 from 1979 to 1982, and the 928 from 1978 to 1982. As a color that effectively masquerades as black while delivering a subtle warmth that only reveals itself under specific conditions, it is a particularly studied choice for collectors who appreciate the depth of discovery it offers — one of those colors that looks different every time you see it depending on the light.
