Slate Grey 7015

Slate Grey 7015 (Y97) is the lesser-known and lighter of the two distinct non-metallic Slate Grey variants in Porsche's PTS catalog, taking its designation from the RAL 7015 industrial color standard rather than Porsche's own historic sequential codes. Porsche's official description identifies it as a dark, cool grey with subtle bluish undertones — slightly lighter than the classic 6601 variant that carries the Steve McQueen association, but still firmly in the same composed, industrial grey family. Carpaints.co confirms it is rarely seen in practice, and Rennlist forum owners comparing the two describe Y97 as meaningfully lighter than the 615/6601 code, with one owner describing it as almost like battleship grey. At least one PTS example on the 992 GT3 has been documented with full Sonderwunsch specification alongside the Y97 paint. Porsche further notes that Slate Grey 7015 served as direct inspiration for Slate Grey Neo, the 992.2-era standard color, confirming Y97's role as an intermediate step in the color's evolution across generations.
