I went through the process of getting the COA on my car (paint code 98), hoping that I might get lucky and they would include something besides just:

"Metallic Paint to sample/9992"

What options are there to get some kind of official confirmation of a car's color (e.g. Sahara Beige)

I have some dealer color samples from 1974 (Paint chip card) and my car's color is pretty clearly Ice Green Metallic(1974 optional 911 color), but is there any way to officially define it as such?

Ross, here's an idea to try to get an exact match -

Take a known example of Ice Green Metallic on a 911/912/930 with a COA identifying it as such &/or an original paint chip sample card from 74 with it ....

& take them & your 914 to a paint store which has the paint matching laser gun with a print-out of the sample, & have them "shoot" your 914 (preferably at a spot with protection from sun/weather fading inside - same with the 911/etc.), the 911/912/930 &/or paint chip sample card.

Hopefully the results of their matching printouts will line up exact or close enough to confirm that it is indeed Ice Green Metallic.

IIRC another member on here near Indianapolis area had an Ice Green Met. 914 too, so he may be able to help with identification long distance using the above method too.
