I'm getting my 912 painted soon and am looking for information that would help me match the 356 aquamarine color below:



The owner of this car identifies it as non-metalic aquamarine (code 5707).

But when I search, the cars that I see look darker and less green. Like this:



I am looking for modern paint codes and brands used to match this color.

also, anyone know which is really 5707 and what the easiest way to match the first pic would be?

Different lighting can make these sorts of colors look very different in side-by-side photos, especially blue in outdoor lighting.

John Willhoit provides spray-out cards that you can take to your local painter to match the color.

That might be your best bet. You can compare the card color to the 912 color in the same light.
