Every so often I'll visit our brothers across the pond, and yes, it was brought from Japan to the UK.

Humm, I have never heard of Eden green. I did a search on it and only pulled up that car for sale. No reference to a porsche color with that name. It looks like wimbledon to me. Could be a color to sample i guess.

wimblEDON?

I saw a dark metallic green 968 drive by my work yesterday. I had my 968 parked on the street right there and he didn't even look at it! It looked like oak green, never seen that before.

Oak Green is a really nice color imo.

Agree it looks very much like Wimbledon, which depending on the light can take tones between bluish and greenish. If it is not, then probably paint to sample, which was an option as far as I know..

Yep, Wimbledon!!! After calling it Wimbleton for years someone pointed that out to me recently and I checked my factory documents and they were right. Wimbleton is for tennis. so, add this correction to Aventurine, not Adventurine and Amethyst, not Amathyst.

BTW, we had a rare oak green coupe at the celebration a few weeks ago.

Looks a little too blue for Wimbledon to my eye. I'll email the seller to find out more; I don't think anyone would give out a random name like that unless it was documented, but who knows.
