Please bear with me .

There's this old Porsche colour , like a light cream grey .
I'm sure it's called something like " old man of Atlantis grey" or " old man of loch lahaar grey" , " old man of Bermuda " you get the idea .
It's some such name , it's killing me . I think it has another normal name too but I DESPERATELY need to find out the longer more amusing title .
Any ideas ? It's definitely "old man " of something grey

Help , air cooled and confused

The real colour is actually "Mode Grau" or Fashion Grey, an old 356 colour.

Is this the same colour as used on the limited edition 911 Sport Classic?

No, that's called Sport Classic grey and is lighter...

Well, I'm not 100% but I think it's different to fashion grey. Man from Chile is much warmer and as far as I was aware it's fashion grey mixed with something else to get the result. It's not like guards/indischrot red where essentially the same colour was called different things in different years/markets etc.

I'll happily admit I could be wrong however thumbup
