Viper Green Diamond

Viper Green Diamond (249), Vipergründiamant in German, is a vivid, metallic lime green that shares its basic colour character with the non-metallic Viper Green while adding the depth, shimmer, and dimensional quality of a metallic finish. The hex — identical to the non-metallic entry — reflects the colour at its brightest reading, though the metallic flake adds considerably more complexity and life to the finish in person. Rennbow notes it is a vivid metallic lime green that blends classic Porsche boldness with a modern, almost Mamba Green–like energy, with fine metallic flake adding shimmer and depth, and confirms it originated from the VW palette rather than Porsche's own — consistent with the 914's colour sourcing practice. Touch-up paint suppliers list it under cross-codes including "Emerald Green 249" and "Viper Green Diamont." It was offered for a single year on the 914, making it a one-year-only option in the classic Porsche mid-engine era. With a rarity of two out of five it is uncommon, and original-paint 914s in this shade are distinctive finds that attract attention from enthusiasts drawn to the more vibrant end of the 914's colourful palette.
