"Green" come on! when was a Porsche ever painted "green".

The paint sticker under the hood says "petrol Blu" but I dont know what it "should" look like and I am guessing that is close, yes?

I think the COD is probably petrol blue. I have one too. The paint looks different in different light. Anything from a bright blue metallic in bright sunlight to a deep greenish-blue hue like what you see in the pic on cloudy days. It even floureces weird. Parked in a walmart parking lot with the sodium lights, it looks almost black. Strange stuff.

petrol - 'British' word for fuel ('gas') - short for 'petroleum' = 'rock oil'

petrel - a large sea-bird similar to an albatross, with irridescent, deep greenish blue upper plumage.

Spot the difference?
