Like I’ve said before..
Tangerine is very bright…
On a bigger car, borderline obnoxious.

Whats not to love about Black or White? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Opinions are subjective.

[mrholland2]

Car colors that should be eliminated worldwide: White, Grey, Silver, Black, and sometimes Gold.

The sameness of pigmented mind control!!

Funny about the Red comment switched my car in High school to an Earl Schieb Red
even stepped-up adding Primer

On the Subject of Grey I went from a Loud and Barky Super Charged Mini Cooper to a Mustang
I am over 50 and thought I should Drive a more Mature looking Mustang so I picked Magnetic Grey, I think it works perfect for me .

I'm not really that enthusiastic about elimination of those colors, but come on. . look at any parking lot and it's a sea of bland. Cars today have little enough personality and 95% of them are White, Grey (including that awful primer color), Silver, and Black. Car lots should look like Skittles!!!

Almost all Porsche's were repainted red in the 80's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

That is SO TRUE.

They don't call it Resale Red for no reason.

Only 3 greens in 1973...so your car is either Zambezi, Ravenna, or Delphi. All are great colors in my opinion.... Delphi being one of my favorites.

I've grown to love my Delphi Green, although Mom called it "urine yellow" when Dad showed up with a car without telling her he was buying it! :beer1:BTW, Delphi Green L99A in 1973 was a $206 optional custom color, only offered in 73 and 74.

Delphi is my favorite, but love all 73 Green.

That car looks beautiful!!

In 1973 I bought a Sunflower Yellow 914 and one of it's nicknames was the Neon Daffodil for it's ability to attract bugs after a wash job. Ravenna Green was equally attractive. As an old fart the memory dims, but not the image of the Porsche Audi dealer where I bought the car and the florescent colors under night lighting. I like 914s in all colors, even light ivory, but my favorites are the brightest ones, especially greens, yellows and oranges.

You forgot the gold that actually looks calf $hit yellow.

My 914 is in real nice condition but it's a colour change from white to close to tangerine done a couple PO's ago in the 80's. I'm not a fan of white 914's, I like the jelly bean colours, so I doubt I'll returning it to original, besides it a /6 conversion.

I dinged my rear fender just before the end of the season and it has a bunch more blemishes, so I either have to do a full repaint or a bit of bodywork and wrap the 914. I have enough Vvivid matte orange wrap to do the car. It's a close match for my door jams.

What about plastering the car with racing stickers and then wrapping over it in the matte orange? I saw on YT a guy who did this on a blue 911 and the outline effect of the stickers under the wrap was so cool.
I also already have a bunch of vinyl white circles, numbers, and about half of the sponsor type stickers.

Of course one day I'll do a proper repaint, but if wrapping it puts it off for 3-5 years I'd be happy.

I like my "Chrome Yellow" or also called "Saturn Yellow" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
It has a green tint base showing at different times of the day & photo's are never consistent. Here is a computer adjusted photo showing green.
Green is one of my favorites (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

great pics @914_7T3 . That was a fun visit. And your car has come a looong way!

(Still can't believe some people don't like Ravenna)

[sixaddict]

Not exactly Ravenna but can’t tell you how many people say they love this color….
It leaves little doubt you have been “seen” !

I know you’re making a half joke, but seriously, mid 80’s to mid 2000’s were an awful phase for car colors. Somehow all the least used colors from the crayon box were the only colors you could buy on a car.
My theory is a reduction of cocaine in the marketing department led to a long era of boring people making boring cars.

I get thrilled to see these bright green Cameros and corvettes. I think, “Finally! Fun cars look fun again!”

I agree with your thinking, but I think it's opposite. Cocaine was real big in the 80's, when that box of crayons narrowed to just a few colors. LSD, mushrooms, etc were big in the late 60's and 70's when all the cool colors came out. Today is blah blah with the colors, kinda like Charlie Brown not really listening.

Ha! Very good sir! Clearly I don’t know drugs very well, but I was at least on the right track aboa change in drugs changing design (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

All the standard factory colors look great on a 914. The one color that most dislike is Sepia Brown, but even it has some admirers.

I disagree.
As the shamed owner of a Gold 914….now red, I believe Gold is the most disliked color.

[Ansbacher]

Absolute best color for a 914 - Sahara Beige. Damn lucky Steve G. has the only one I know of. Wish there was a way to steal a paint job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

The best color for your 914 is always the original color whatever that may be. If it’s a nice paint job it will look fantastic.
