Signal Green

Signal Green (22T) is a bright, vivid non-metallic green from the early 1970s era of Porsche's most expressive color period — a pure, saturated green with sufficient yellow-warmth to read as bold and eye-catching without crossing into the acid territory of later colors like Viper Green. Porsche's own description of the color in the PTS context calls it a bright and historic shade that resembles Viper Green and is especially well-known on the transaxle models, noting that its origins go back to the end of the 1960s. The color was available on the 911 from 1966 through 1971 in earlier form, with the 22T designation associated with the 1970–1975 window when it appeared on both the 911 and 914, the latter being among its most natural homes given the mid-engine sports car's expressive early-1970s palette. A later version of Signal Green (22S) reappeared on 964, 968, 928, and Cayman models in the 1990s–2000s, and the original version remains available as a PTS option, confirming its standing as one of the more durable greens in Porsche's historical catalog.
