Yes, the reference also says Chartreuse, or lime green.
Notice, no wipers or passenger door handle...

With black trim and wheels, that would be great for an RS.

Definitely the Carrera is a Chartreuse. For the 914 it was called Ravena Green. (I had the other greeen--Zambezi).

For a 997 Carrera--no. For a GT3 or GT3RS -- Yes!

Yes.

It is a very subjective colour and unlike many retro colours, has quite limited appeal.
