I like my factory Scarlet red. This isn't factory paint, but color matched. Door jambs seem to match spot on. I will admit when its cloudy it looks a little more pastel.

Phoenix Red, Irish Green and Alaska Blue Metallic are also favorites of mine.

Yes agree all time fav color Alaskan Blue only 2 years 1973 and 1974 on any Porsche i am not misstaken. One day i own two. Cheers.

Holy resurrected thread, batman! As always...Ravenna Green L65K.

I like Blutorange (Tangerine)
Canary Yellow
Light Ivory.
And many others.

The metallic blue is nice, but I think the blue next to really gives the 914 a happy sports car vibe. I also think the second best color is a nice sexy Black and of course you can never go wrong with old classy grey. In that order for me.

You had your car repainted, Steve?

I'm amazed no-one said Copper metallic yet.

That Ancona Blue does look Great! Even though it's not a 914 color, I've always thought that Ford's "Tangerine Scream" color would look great on a 914, especially with blacked out chrome & bumpers.

Willow green, Zambezi green, and Ravenna green.

I like the metallic copper....

Yep!! No more 50 shades of gray!!

Nice photo Jim...and barefoot!

Copper!

In order: light ivory, Orange, Willow Green

Yeah baby !!!

I already posted mine, but in the three years since that, I’ve started to imagine this in Conda Green.

Thank you.

Punctuation. I think he means "Tangerine Scream" was not a 914 color.

I read it too fast then. my bad.

Thank you

I gotta say. Sepia Brown or Sahara Beige are the favorite colors of mine that I have seen yet.

Cheers

.......OLYMPIC BLUE WITHOUT A DOUBT

Could you expand on "though it's not a 914 color"? I have a 75 in Ancona blue, L97B is stamped on the car.
Are you saying that because it's a shared color with VW or for some other reason?
(not being a jerk and defending the color, just wondering about how you got there)

914...

Sorry Guys! Apparently, I worded this compliment very poorly. I LOVE that Ancona blue and fully realize it is a legitimate 914 color. I was trying to compliment someone's car, and it clearly blew up. My point was "I Love the Ancona Blue" (FULL STOP) Then, as a second point, I personally love the Ford "Tangerine Scream" color(which is NOT a 914 color), but think it would look great on a 914. Sorry about the confusion, both my ex-wives said I had problems expressing myself....apparently they were correct

people who don't know Porsche ask "why the orange"Click to view attachment

Gold Metallic would be my first choice...

Me too!

Yeah, your car, your choice..

My car is tangerine.. not my favorite, but it
has grown on me over 47 years...

I knew someone that bought a gold car new..
It looked great.... My only concern would have been
color matching and blending in case of an accident..

My favorite 914 colors are: Tangerine, Signal orange, Delphi green, Ancona Blue, Irish Green, Copper. But mine is white. Oh well.
Bill.

I want to grow up like Eric, so I painted my 914 Chrome Yellow/Saturn

Alaska or Ananconda (spelling?) Blue. Look sharp on the BUB 914's.

Non 914 color ... House of Kolor's Shimrin' Tangelo Pearl excites me ...

Man, how great does that 914 look? Wow! Makes me wish they had done more LEs in other colors. A little Gulf to go with your Gulf below...

As for favorite 914 colors, I didn't choose it and I hear you aren't supposed to admit to liking red cars, but some cars in red work for me (thankfully).

Partial to red as well, although would have taken any color as they all look good. Not a 914 color, but a Porsche color, Guards red.
