Default Do you know what the Colour Code is for "Pure Orange"?

Thinking of a "Paint to Sample" option, especialy "Pure Orange". Love the colour but need the colour code. Any takers? Please help.

That's not that simple a request. I'm not familiar with a color known as "pure orange." There are several that you might be thinking of, so here are some starting points:

http://home.arcor.de/thgramlich/Farbcodes.htm

http://www.paintscratch.com/

(that last site used to be better).

There is a Signal Orange, it was a color from the 70's, I believe the code is 789. You can go to Stoddard imports website and look up a 997 they have to see if that is the color you are speaking of.

Thanks for that heads up. My long-term plan is for an Orange (likely Signal Orange) TT...nice to see it on a 997 frame.

THis was floating around here about a year or so ago and IIRC, it was called Pure Orange. It looks very much like Signal Orange, but it could actually be a different color. Note the lady on the left. Apparently a matching track suit is also available.

...reminds me of an old jogging suit I had in the '80's was pretty close to Mexico Blue.

Tim- good find, it was in fact pure orange ... owner is dealmaker from the UK.
Toronto- click on poster's name, try sending him an email.

I don't know. With that car you can only really only drive it on Halloween. But the Signal Yellow is quite nice.

I wonder how it would look with the "pumpkin" side markers???

Or green side markers, for the "on the vine" look!
