I believe I have seen a 993 Cab in this color - occasionally parks at the Millbrae BART station. A Rennlister???

This is my 95 Iris blue. It seems different than Zombie's. How can you differenciate if it is 39N or 39V(paintscratch.com) if no color sticker is available?

After looking at many photos of my car I think Georges car is exactly the same color .
My car looks different colors in different lighting conditions and depending which digi camera I'm using.
If you look at his avatar the light shining off the bumper matches the color of my photo exactly, all taken in bright sunlight. The side view of his car look as if it was taken at sunset and the rear view too. My car has the same tones around the same time of day.

I've got L347 (dark blue) which I don't see too often on the 993. Anyone else have this color?

Hi from the 968 board. I have a 39V Iris Blue 968 and it is the same as Zombie's picture, not yours. Not sure how to tell which you without the sticker.
The 1994 Model Year Supplement book lists 39V as the water-bourne paint and 39N as the solvent-bourne paint. It is possible that those two could have a slightly different appearing hue. Plus, that color is extremely sensitive to lighting conditions. Mine looks partly purple under the right light.

I have heard of it, I believe it was on some SC's, however I have never seen a Seafoam 993.

Don't laugh it is all I could find for a color swatch. This is a very small rear corner of a 77 911 turbo in seafoam green. Very nice unique color. I don't think it has been used since the late 70's though.
