I think Aventurine Green is a bit more Gray, but this could be it. Many people hate green cars, but I like them! This is a very pretty car - Cashmere interior a must...

Uh, forest green? I really have no idea. Just wanted to get in on the fun! I thought Berkeley bought a 993 once called Forest Green. I'm probably wrong.

Here's a bad pic of Forest Green...

Hard to tell as the lighting in the pics isn't that great but I don't think it's rainforest or forest green....no one would ever say there was any grey in these colors, they are both very green. More likely it is Adventurine, but under the right light Slate grey can look like it has a bit of green.

I'm the owner of an Aventurine Green Metallic car and in that picture that car looks like a much lighter green - I am pretty certain it is not Aventurine, which looks so dark some people mistake it for black from a distance - by the way, according to Peter Morgan's "Original Porsche 911" the color code is K6 Aventura Green Metallic - it was a special order color for the 1994, 1995 and 1996 model year, and while Porsche will do pretty much whatever you want for a price, it was only offered those model years (mind you he's been known to have plenty of inaccuracies in his book!).
