darkest OEM green is Porsche Brewster Green that I am aware of:

Porsche Paint Code: 22B

Color Name: Brewster Green (Brewstergrün)

PPG Manufacturer Code: 933188 (This is the specific internal PPG library number for the Porsche 22B mix).

I had AI make an image:
222989

I hope this helps.

I am actually consider brewster green for a 1979 f150 project that I'm working on. The Spray Source (TSS) also has a color changing dark green to black that looks pretty sweet. I can't recall the name right now but they have a color change line.

Negro Verde by Painthouse in Cypress, TX is a beautiful almost-black green. I've had my eye on it.

Mike,

Are you looking for a metallic or non metallic dark green (almost black)?
These two come to mind:
Ford-Highland Green-"PX"
and
Dodge/Chrysler Dark Forest Green-"PGZ"

Dark, dark green, but show up as almost black unless in the sunlight.

Sherwin Williams has a custom mix in their system labeled "Green/Black", color code "6994" that is non metallic and exactly what you are looking for if that is the case.

The Porsche Club of America recently posted photos of all the Porsche PTS (paint to sample) colors available from Porsche. There are some pretty sweet colors in there:

Mike, Ken Pike painted my car. It is a 2021 British Racing Green from Jaguar. In the shade it looks almost black but, in the sun, it is a deep green. It's a metallic. I just did a quick search through my files, but I can't find the paperwork with the formula. I'll keep looking, but you can also check with a Jaguar dealer, and they should be able to get you the formula.

As always though you need to have a spray out done with the actual paint and see it live and in person with your own eyes to tell the real story

Hi Mike,

I picked out Dark Epsom Green painted by Jeff Miller. It's a Range Rover/Land Rover color. Epsom Green PPG color code 47674 D. It has a fine metallic looks almost black in the shade and shows the green in the sun.

Lime Rock Green" code WA136X. Brother in law had this color on his Corvette its really dark. Only thing is saw in real life darker was Pennsylvania Railroad engine green. "Take a 55-gallon drum of black, add 1 quart of green".

I can drum up the PPG code/formula if you’re interested. I tried to replicate a late 60s Triumph BRG.

Dark green is on my short list of colors, which needs to be narrowed down soon as the car is going out to Ken Pike in a few weeks. The challenge (or quality I guess) with many greens and blues is they take on a completely different look in the sun, so I'm afraid of choosing a color that makes me go "yuck" in sunlight... and we're in TX.

The cobra pics are AI-genereated with Porsche Brewster Green, and the 911 pics are real. Look at the sunlight on the hood. :(

It's such a nice, non-metallic color.

I'm about to spray my truck dash pad w/ Brewster green after I reconditioned it. I'll post some pics of the color.

I made that mistake picking an exterior paint color for the house when I repainted the house, under indoor lighting - the painter got one wall done and I was like - yuck. Now I throw that paint on all my house related projects that doesn't see sunlight.

Only to reiterate what's been said here multiple times - OP, you need to see it in person under sunlight, in shade, indoors to get a good feel for how the paint looks.

Dark green is on my short list of colors,

Dark green now? But what about the silvers we talked about on Sunday? Or the light blue? :D :D :D

Oh those are first and second on my list for sure, especially as I look at them more (and the 2020 LCS car is gorgeous).The dark green is at the bottom, maybe 4th or 5th.

So maybe it's really not a "shortlist" after all. :D

[rich grsc]

Just paint it red and be done.....:rolleyes:

[Waterman]

Unless building a true show car go to the local car dealers. Find a few colors you like. Go back when light is different. Paint code is on the sticker. I used current Corvette Riptide Blue.
