How would you describe the difference. Which do you prefer?

Hmmm. Ravenna is radioactive bright. Delphi is more subdued and has more gold / yellow in it. I like Ravenna hands down. But you probably knew that.

Two totally different shades of green and I love them both.

Ravenna is super bright and eye catching and really makes black trim pop.

Delphi is much more subtle almost "pea soup" like. Combines great with the chrome accents.

If I had to choose between the two, it would be Ravenna for me, but I really do like Delphi as well!

I'd describe Ravenna green as a bright yellow green.

Both are great 914 colors....

Revenna green, but I'm biased. Definitely grabs attention (good and bad), and shouts "1970s". Now to finish the prep work and get her re-sprayed...

I've certainly never had anyone comment that my Mistress' beautiful Delphi Green was "subdued!" w00t.gif

Both colors are amazing, but we love the paint flop on our Delphi.

Ravenna green when you have a great paint job looks super. The Internet does not do it justice. Much better in person. Delphi green metallic is the old 2-stage paint and when perfect looks great as well. Straight body on a 914 is gorgeous. Less than an 8 does not make it for me. It needs to be very clean. In my humble option.

I love both colors; both members of the crazy early 70s Rowan and Martins Laugh-in colors.

My favorite of those two greens is Alaska Blue Metallic ( http://www.p914.com/p914_paint_L96B_73.htm )

ok I'm sold on the Ravenna green, not just for this but for my new project 914. Where can I buy Ravenna green auto paint, original was one part I believe?

Jett, that's a great color, and your car wears it well! I'm in line at PMB, still a few years away, but I'm going Delphi, as well. I haven't seen anyone do a flared Delphi car, so I had to do some photoshopping to see, and I think it'll be pretty awesome!Click to view attachment

I like them both but think that a color change is almost always undesirable.

There was a time when NOBODY wanted Delphi Green, but it's a cool color. Either color will look great on a 914 with all the black trim.

I'm colourblind- want my opinion???

I lean toward Ravenna over Delphi. Though I might pick Mopar's Gecko Green over Ravenna.

Delphi Metallic Green is the very best.
