Wimbledon Green Metallic (23I), under codes 23I and 2B6, is a rich, medium-to-dark teal-green metallic with balanced blue and green components that gives it a slightly aquatic, jewel-like quality distinct from the darker forest greens and lighter emerald greens elsewhere in the Porsche palette. The hex of #397377 confirms a notably blue-shifted teal rather than a pure green, with the metallic finish adding considerable depth and shimmer. The name evokes the famous tennis tournament — and specifically the vibrant teal-green court surface that has become an international visual icon. It first appeared on the 911 in 1993 alongside the 928 and 968 in the same year, making for a cross-model 1993 introduction during the final year of both the 928 and the 964-generation 911. It resurfaced on the 911 from 1999–2001 and again in 2005–2008 on the 997 generation, and appeared on the Boxster 986 in 2000, giving it an unusually long service life across both the air-cooled and water-cooled eras. Surviving cars in original Wimbledon Green Metallic across any of its production years are sought after by green enthusiasts who appreciate its distinctive blue-green complexity. The rarity data value of eleven reflects an anomaly above the standard scale.
