Slate Metallic

Slate Grey Metallic (22D) is Porsche's defining dark grey metallic of the transaxle, late air-cooled, and water-cooled eras — a cool, deep metallic grey that Rennbow describes simply and accurately as the standard bearer for a position that has been filled continuously from the early 1980s to the present day: Porsche has never been without a metallic dark grey of this character in its lineup. Under code 22D and the related codes 23F, Q9, and LY7U, it appeared on the 911 from 1989 through 2010 in various forms, on the 944 from 1985 through 1989, on the 928 from 1989 through 1995, on the 968 from 1992 through 1995, on the Boxster from 2000 through 2009, and the Cayman from 2006 through 2009. The color is a reserved, composed metallic — neither warm nor cool to an extreme, sitting at the intersection of depth and restraint that makes it flattering across Porsche's entire range of body styles. Its 29-paint-can rarity score confirms it as one of the most widely ordered colors in Porsche's modern catalog.
