Sure someone on here can settle an argument for me!!
Is there such a colour as Porsche Turkis Green?
It is like a light beige colour??
Strange request I know but i have been 'discussing' this with a mate for a while now and cant find any reference to it?
Cheers

I think VW offered a colour called Turkis Green in the early '60's ...

It was also a 70's BMW colour, or maybe that was Turkis Blue

Thinking about it again, the colour is actually Turkis - without the added 'Green' (or 'Blue' - as in the case of Ferry Man's hotrod) since the word is derived from Turquoise ...

Looks suspiciously like 1973 NHS hearing aid beige.

VW Chinchilla Grey, it does have a slight hint of green to, but only about 1%
