Umbra Metallic

Umbra Metallic (M8U), umbrametallic in German with auxiliary code R7, is a sophisticated grey-brown metallic with a warm umber undertone that gives it a clearly earthy character distinct from the cooler, bluer greys in the Porsche catalogue. The fine metallic flake of the M-series finish adds considerable brightness relative to the underlying warm tone, making it appear as a light champagne-grey in direct sunlight before revealing its brown warmth in shade or diffuse light. It appeared on the second- and third-generation Cayenne (958) from model year 2012 through 2017, positioning it as a specialist choice on Porsche's flagship SUV during the platform's mid-life. PaintScratch and Color N Drive both confirm it across the 2012–2017 Cayenne range under M8U/R7. Despite the Cayenne's relatively large production volumes, surviving Cayennes in Umbra Metallic are uncommon, reflecting the conservative ordering patterns typical of premium SUV buyers in that era. The rarity value of seven in the submitted data likely reflects a data anomaly above the standard scale.
