Help Identifying These Colors, Please.

Going to order a Cayman S. I want to get something bold in a color, and saw this picture. I think the bright blue one might be either Mexico or Maritime Blue (awesome). Anyone know what the other two (orange and green) in the front could be?

Thanks.

I believe the front row colors are (L to R): Orange, Green, Mexico Blue
Back row colors are (L to R): Carrara White, Aqua Blue, Guards Red, Speed Yellow, Nordic Gold, Malachite Green

So, even though there are several greens, that particular one might be just "green"? Same with the "orange"?

First off welcome to 6speed second off shoot over to Porsche.com and play around you will quickly learn those colors are no longer available for new orders they were special. So no need arguing over which green it is unless you want to fork up the cash to paint a brand new Cayman or start hunting down a used one. GL

Thanks, I am contemplating a custom order. Big bucks, I know ($5500), but I've been wanting one of these for a long time, and would love to have something unusual.

The orange one is the one that most intrigues me right now.

My 2cents for whatever its worth (which isnt much) is hunt down the orange one pre owned. Most guys that have them arent driving them much and will be in new condition and avoid that huge hit for buying new and paying the additional 5k cash plus when orange was available they usually came with painted wheels,side stripes and interior touches those little things are what made those cars so special !

Great advice. I usually resist buying new, but figured it would be tough to find the special color, and was thinking I wanted the newer motor.

Yes, the special colors for the GT3RS were known as "Green" and "Orange". I would have expected some sort of descriptor, but from everything that I've seen and read, this is the official word on it.

I loved the Orange Cayman S Sport, but they didn't make many of them.

I believe the correct color name is Riviera Blue.
