Peridot Metallic is a vivid, lime-to-yellow-green metallic that reads as bold and contemporary — the hex (#A0C060) confirms a color in the bright yellow-green range, with enough green to register clearly as green while the strong yellow influence gives it an electrified, almost acidic quality. Peridot is a gemstone known for its distinctive olive-green to vivid lime color, and the metallic finish recreates that mineral brilliance by adding a reflective shimmer that makes the color appear to glow from within in direct light. Code 2S1 was available from 2012 to 2017 and then through PTS, appearing on the 911 and 718 among other models. It belongs to the family of vivid, expressive greens that Porsche introduced in the 2010s alongside Python Green, Lizard Green, and others — colors that represented a deliberate revival of the bold green tradition that had been largely absent from the standard catalog since the 1970s. Single spotter entry reflects its rarity even among Porsche's more expressive color choices.
