Possibly the ugliest exterior color ever?

This is the ugliest color for a 997TT that I've laid my eyes on. It's on the rennlist classifieds listed as paint to sample.

Do you think he/she is color blind?

with the right wheels and a drop in ride height you would be surprised what colors you can get away with. But I have to agree, it probably was a better idea in theory vs. practice.

If I worked for Porsche, I would not let that out of the factory.

Nothing that a 10 foot wide black racing stripe couldn't fix.

Yea, I remember that one Origyn, but this one doesn't look quite the same. I think it works on Champion car though.

I think its the same, just the ambient light makes it appear darker with Champions car opposed to the bright ambient light of the horrid looking one.

Maybe they wanted to match the colour of their walls in the garage

That's the only thing I'd paint that colour.
