Olive

Olive (Olive, codes 414 / 62166 / 6835) is a warm, muted solid green that derives its character directly from the color of green Spanish Manzanilla olives — a yellowish-brown-green that is neither vibrant nor dark, but quietly naturalistic and distinctly unfashionable in the contexts that dominate automotive color discourse. Rennbow captures its character precisely: the color takes its cue from the olive itself, giving it a warm, natural tone with a subtle vintage appeal, and notes that very few buyers selected it despite its lengthy availability. It was offered on the 911 from 1966 to 1975 and the 912 from 1966 to 1969 — a decade-long window during which it was consistently available as a special-order option, as confirmed by PCA color records listing it under code 414. Despite this long run, surviving original-paint examples are genuinely rare because so few buyers chose it at the time. Today it attracts enthusiasts who appreciate its unusual character and the research required to document its authenticity.
