Brewster, Irish, and British racing green are all listed as nonmetallic and on the approved 2016 911 PTS table, so might be those three-- where is Eduardo when you need him?
After some research I think it is British Racing Green and not Brewster Green, I e-mailed Porsche maybe they can clarify me. But as I said it looks too light to be Brewster
Brett Payne from Sonnen ordered the BRG Boxster above, I believe. If you PM him, he may have other pics to share with you on the Boxster, but BRG may well be correct. Lighting is so important in these colors.
I hope Eduardo is OK - this is right up his alley.
If you have any question, you should have samples painted on pieces of metal in all three colors (Brewster, Irish and BRG) so you can compare side by side in different lighting conditions. It will probably cost some money, but since you're paying a significant uncharge (and most likely a time delay), a small price to pay to actually see all three together. Brett may be able to help you secure PTS samples or at least point you in the right direction.
Good luck - I'm a sucker for greens and with I had one!
OP - your photos are shots of the European Club Coupe and it was released in 2012/13 in EU only. It is Brewster Green. I saw one in person at Rennsport last year and it is gorgeous!

I vote Brewster too, and if Eduardo
doesn't check in perhaps rennlister
derkpowell will as he did Brewster
Pts on his gt4 recently.

Eduardo is on vacation in Vail, Colorado! Last seen
at concert of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra at the
Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater wearing 'Signal Green'
shoe laces on his 'RS Orange' themed Nikes...
He is ok...or as ok as one can be with all the bad news
that is coming from many parts of our country!

Does anybody know what color is it?
Like many at this thread, I also thought initially that Turbo
was 'Brewster Green' due to the blue tint we saw in some
of the photos you attached (like the one above). But Vise's
discovery of the Motorward article claims it's 'British Racing
Green'. And it goes to show you that photos often do not
capture the color of a vehicle like a normal human eye would
see it in real life! So caveat emptor.

This to me looks lighter than Brewster but I find it strange
that Porsche has 2 so similar dark green, non-metallic colors.
Approved PTS colors at PAG are the result of customers asking
for various hues for their custom vehicle. Porsche, in this case,
is simply offering a color that has been requested by a client.
So you could have various colors close to each other due to
different requests. Furthermore, you could even have one
color offered in two different formulations. Such is the case
with 'Slate Grey' at the present & 'Signal Green' in the past.
*
Also is the PTS open already for the 991.2?
Yes, it's my understanding that PTS window is currently
open for the regular .2 991 models.
*
Is anybody getting deliveries already?
That I don't know for a fact. But I would assume so.
There is normally a three month time interval between
placing a PTS order, having PTS colors ordered, and
coordinating the final built/assembly of the PTS vehicle.
I think we are close to three months when the PTS
window opened earlier this year...so we should be seeing
the first PTS regular .2 991 models soon...if not already
done & delivered!

Anyone with a BRG Porsche here?
There is a prototype 911R in 'British Racing Green' that
Andreas Preuninger has been seen riding around Zuffenhausen.

I have seen that website as well but most of the people
that see a dark green car call it BRG so I don't if that
information is trustable. This website also says that
this 997 GT3 RS is also British Racing Green
(http://www.motorward.com/2015/06/spo...he-997-gt3-rs/
but to me it looks different from the Turbo S photos.
Photos often don't capture the 'true' color of a car.
We have seen that demonstrated hundreds of time
on this forum. Also, we can not verify at present if
the article is correct about the color. The ultimate
truth is revealed by the color code sticker that is
attached by PAG to a PTS vehicle.
And that article doesn't show us that!

Don't be fooled by those photos of the Sonnen 981 Boxster. Those
pictures don't look anything like it's true color 'British Racing Green'.
I demonstrated that years ago when I posted the actual photos of
that same 'BRG' 981 Boxster in Sonnen's own website, which went
the other extreme & shows 'BRG' as too dark. Moral of the story -
don't ever trust just photos to select a color for your custom car!

I found this PTS color board, anyone can name these colors
pointed in the picture? They look like flat green.
Sorry. That board was not up at Zuffenhausen's Customer Center
when I was there last July (2015). Otherwise, I would have tried
to list all the color samples on it. So many colors and so little time.
Instead, I was shown this wall of samples at one of the rooms,
which do not show as many as those in your photo.
*
Is there any other non-metallic/flat dark green known to you guys?
Many. Look at the approved list we last posted. And there are probably
more on the latest PAG's approved PTS lists which we can't yet post here
on Rennlist because they have been classified by Porsche it as 'Confidential'!
Eduardo, hello once again , I know you never saw Porsche's British Racing Green but from your knowledge do you consider it lighter or darker than Brewster Green?
I e-mailed motorward to understand where they got the color information, anyway I'm pretty conviced now that it is in fact British Racing Green.
OP - your photos are shots of the European Club Coupe and it was released in 2012/13 in EU only. It is Brewster Green. I saw one in person at Rennsport last year and it is gorgeous! Google Porsche European Club Coupe and choose images, then click on the link to the originating site. Here's one link:

If my eyes are still working correctly, the OP's photos show a
911 Turbo S, not the Limited Edition 2012 Club Coupe, which
was a 991S.

Yes, we saw it (the one) at the 2014 Porsche Parade in Monterey too.

Mario:
I have yet to see Porsche's version of PTS 'British Racing Green'
in person. But I have seen two examples of 'Brewster Green'
with my own eyes...at Monterey in 2014 and at Zuffenhausen
in 2013:
'Brewster' has quite a bit of blue tint. And it looks a bit different
in sunlight than in the shade.
*
The gt4 that was recently done in 'Brewster Green' is pretty
representative of this color. And you should go to the link
below and read/see more on this topic:
*
I think 'British Racing Green' probably has more yellow tint than
you see in 'Brewster',
which has more of a blue tint to it...
And my guess would be that 'Brewster' will look slightly darker than
'British Racing Green', to answer your specific question.
Either color is great, but if I was choosing between the two I would
favor 'Brewster Green' because it's now linked to Porsche's history
(being chosen for the rare 2012 'Club Coupe'). 'British Racing Green',
on the other hand, is a rather 'common' color most often associated
with English, not German, automobiles!
Well, I'm delighted Eduardo is well and "out and about"! He is a "National Porsche Treasure" in my book.
If you want GREEN, why not Viper?
I'm infatuated with my DBM 981GTS (drove it today, so I'm DEFINITELY "never" selling it, hahaha), but if I were a wealthy man, I would also want a low mileage 993 in Speed or Pastel Yellow and a (fill in the blank) in Viper Green to pet in the (heated and cooled) 37 car garage.
On a serious note, if you're willing to spend $7K US for a custom color (or so), buy some quality paint on metal samples of 2 or 3 greens you think you might like and look at them in all sorts of lighting conditions.
But don't wait too long - those PTS windows can be pretty "fluid", believe me.
Glad to see you post, Eduardo!
