Smyrna Green

Smyrna Green (6210) is a light, non-metallic grey-green named for the historic city of Smyrna — the ancient Greek name for Izmir on the coast of western Turkey — drawing on the Aegean and Mediterranean associations of that region to evoke a pale, coastal, sun-bleached green. Porsche and Rennbow both describe the color as having a mint green undertone that is not as bright as true mint, giving it a subtle, unique character that reads as refined and quiet rather than expressive. Official 356 color chart documentation confirms that Smyrna Green was introduced as a new color for the 356 B T-6 generation in 1962, alongside Oslo Blue, Champagne Yellow, and Bali Blue, with codes 6210 and R744. It continued through 1963 and into subsequent years under the same code, with paintref.com documenting Porsche usage between 1962 and 1973. On the concours circuit, Smyrna Green 356 B Karmann Hardtop models with matching green leather interiors are among the more remarked-upon color-interior combinations in 356 history. Smyrna Green has been available through PTS for contemporary Porsches, where the pale grey-green character suits current tastes for quiet heritage neutrals.
