Willow Green

Willow Green (L63K), Weidengrün in German under codes L63K, 4310, and 223, is a soft, medium-toned non-metallic green with subtle grey or brown undertones that give it an earthy, gently muted quality inspired by the foliage of the willow tree. The hex of #A8D061 suggests a lighter, slightly yellow-green character, and Porsche's own PTS documentation qualifies it as ranging from medium pastel to darker and richer depending on conditions — overall a soothing, calming shade. It was available on the 914 in 1971 and 1972, sharing its colour specification with VW models assembled at the same Karmann factory in Osnabrück — a characteristic of 914 colours during the entire production run. Rennlist forum threads document it as a much-loved shade among 914 enthusiasts, with one poster describing having loved the colour since college, and a Cayman buyer using the 914 paint code L63K to order it through PTS. The colour has also appeared in the PTS programme for the 911. Paint reference databases confirm the formulation was used between 1971 and 1972 primarily by VW and also by Porsche. With a rarity of one out of five it is among the better-known 914 colours and has been encountered in sufficient numbers through the used market and PTS.
