Is Ocean Jade the worst colour Porsche has ever done?

[Luke.]

Yup. My word what were the buyers thinking of?

I like it....horses for courses

Pretty sure that’s been for sales on Autotrader too, think it has matching colour interior!

Oddly, I quite like the green interior...

[j80jpw]

Ignore me, read the description properly and it says black interior. There is definitely a matching interior available though.

[j80jpw]

Hmmmmm.....

[Leroy902]

Yup, the worst colour I've seen

One of our Kent TIPEC members had an Ocean Jade 911 with the dark green interior. I drove it a few times & I was astonished on how much attention it got. Everyone doing a double take. Not my cup of tea but a very distinctive car.

Grey,ANY grey is much worse.

OMG!

ETA: As an exterior colour, not too bad at all.

Quite like the colour myself and would be an interesting left field choice on a cheaper early water cooled car these days. Not sure I'd spec it new though!

Interior colour yells out 80s Honda, Hyundai or something of the sort when burgundy was also the rage.

You just wait....maybe in 10 years time jade may be the colour commanding a premium because of rarity, trending taste etc (although I too have never been keen). I suspect the Blut Orange and Viper Greens of the 70's were considered rather an 'odd' choice to folks buying cars in the 1980's, when only red or white would do. Of course variations on Viper and Orange have made a come back in recent GT3/2's so what goes around........

I had a seal grey 996 C4S with that colour interior - it actually was reasonably okay in the flesh - not sure about green on green though.................

Quite the opposite, one of their best!

Would love my GT2 in ocean jade

I guess they chose the colour for themselves, not the next buyer. This suggests they could afford a new 911, not just lease one for a couple of years before handing it back. Add its rarity and the car is, in my opinion, an absolute treat.

Back in 200 when I bought my first Boxster from OPC Sutton Coldfield, the sales chap claimed he'd seen a Speed Yellow Boxster with this Nephrite Green interior!

[JS1500]

I spotted that car for sale a few weeks ago and found myself coming back to look at it a couple of times since. I think it's a great exterior colour. Not so much love for that green interior, but with black interior like the one for sale...yes please.

[Slippydiff]

Not to my taste, but hardly as offensive as the OP's making it out to be. Looks better on a 993 than NB 996 though :

Stunning indeed, similar effect to an electric cattle prod.
