mines silver rose or "silber rosa"

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

one is blue one is red

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

How about "Metallic Zweischicht Kristallgrun"

It is a really light almost silver green looks great with the light tan/brown interior. Never seen another this color Code is LM6Y on a 1985 944.....I wonder too how rare this color is. Seems all are RED or repainted RED, black, silver, white, some dark blue, some burgondy/dark red and then there was champagne too.

Yes, it does seem like a rare colour. I can't recall seeing a 944 (in the U.K.) in this colour before, but I think I have seen a 911 in it (or very similar).

I thought my colour was rare, so I wrote a letter to Porsche (G.B.), and they told me that only 8 were made.

Try writing to Porsche (U.S.) to see if they can confirm if it is a rare colour or not.

(It may just be a 911 or 928 colour though?)

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Factory paint and from what I can gather it was a special order color.
Standard colors for 1985 were: A1 Black, D4 Pastel Beige, G1 Guards Red, K3 Copenhagen Blue, P1 Alpine White
Special Order Colors were: L1 Zermatt Silver Met, L5 Saphire Met, S2 Garnet Red Met, S5 Crystal Green Met, U8 Stone Grey Met, W9 Graphite Met, Y4 Kalahari Met, Z6 Mahogany Met

Then there were a host of interior colors to include: Leather/Leatherette Black, Brown, Burgondy, Light Grey--- Pinstripe black/white, brown/beige, burgondy/white, light grey/white---Pinstripe Flannel anthracite, brown, burgondy, light grey---Porsche Cloth black, brown, burgondy and light grey

Carpet is: black, brown, burgondy, light grey
Special Leather/Carpet Interiors: pearl white, buff skin brown, can can red, champagne, white

This tells me there could be many, many combinations! I am thinking my interior is the Special Buff Skin Brown because nothing else fits. The only thing brown is the dash and the door caps/headliner. The carpet and seats are very light saddle/tan.... I will see if Porsche NA has any info just because I am curious. If it is really rare, I am still going to drive it. That is what I bought it for.

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

the only address I found for Porsche NA was to submit a resume for career opportunities. I wrote them anyway to maybe get pointed in the right direction... Should not matter, Porsche is Porsche as they all were built together just imported to different countries. Do you recall the address you wrote to for this information? I do not know why there is not an owner's registry.... BMW has one...

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Good on you, that's what they were built for!!! ;)

The address I used was a U.K. "customer relations dept" address that I sourced from a book with the service records / owners manual etc that came with the car called "A pocket guide to Porsche ownership" If you have a simular book with your service records, it may have the U.S. address in the back.

The only U.S. address in my service books is for the U.S. importer....

Mine is Olive with black leather interior. Very nice.

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

a fairly rare 'Velvet Red' with burgundy/pinstrip interior

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

I will check with my manager and see if I cant get the info I mean surley the dealer would have that information.

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Hi Richard, I've just clicked on your gallery link to have a look at your Olive Porka, but you haven't any pictures posted. Are you having problems uploading pic's to the gallery?

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

I do love this colour on a 944! Why don't you get some pic's posted in the gallery?

Talking about galleries, here's mine.....CTiggerPigglet's Porsche Photo Gallery!

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

yeah, I'm having problems uploading my pics. They're too big, and I can't figure out how to downsize them, and cropping the images doesn't seem to work either. But I'm going to try to grab more pictures this weekend, maybe those will work out better.

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Try converting them to Jpeg's (.jpg) if they aren't already! What photo editing software have you got instaled on your p.c.?

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

I have ZoomBrowserEX, from Canon. It came with my digicam. The photos are in JPG format, and the smallest one seems to be 1.5MB. I really don't know much about this stuff.

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

funnily enough exactly the same blue as the one at the top of the page. well, not all over, theres some brown bits. The guy who owned it before me just left it to rot!

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Do you have any pic's? Or the paint code?

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

yea its LM5M although I had to get it matched. not many sprayers have the codes. I might be selling it soon if anyones interested.

its a 944 s2, 1990 3.0. tahoe blue. 121,000. its just passed the mot and im taxing it for the year now. the old tyres passed but Ive got two new goodyear f1 tyres to put on, after ive reconditioned the wheels. I did say MIGHT be selling :o)

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Sponge, if thats the correct code, then you're right, it is the same colour as mine! The colour isn't Tahoe blue though, it's called Turkis Blue or Turquiose Blue. Where are you based, as I'm led to believe that all the 944s that were painted this colour were U.K. cars?

If you go to Microsoft's web page and do a search for Powertoys, you will find there an Image Resizer. Works quick and painless, lol...

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Silver, but you guys probably already knew that. :D

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

I'm painting mine GT Silver. I have it about halfway completed.

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

I think they call this color platinum?

Hey, I know brown ain't a great colour for a Porsche, but what made you decide to paint it yellow?

Surely there must be a better colour to paint your 944?

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Silver Rose

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Oh, you've one of those Special "pink" 944 turbo Ss?[sm=sorry.gif]

Actually, I realy like this colour, it's the pink/burgundy interior that I don't like!

Got any pic's of your turbo S?

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Charcoal!

Hey, what a cool looking black 944. I love those wheels. What make are they?

And I've never seen those type side sills before either. Do you know where to buy these?

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

I've been wondering about the color of my 951, and I finally took some time to look it up. I've never seen one this color either, but it looks like theres a few more out there.

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

It looks like it's painted the same colour as M3944GTIslave's '44 below!

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Yeah, that is the same color - LM6Y, although mine has the black interior. So that's only two cars of that color that I have seen now. I wonder if many more of that color are still out there, or even how many of them there were to start out. Sounds like yours is pretty rare - only 8 of that color.

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
 

Lightning McQueen is RED......of course

RE: Just For Fun, What Colour (Color) Is Your 944?
