Does anyone know of an online resource for showing paint colours as they should be. My 911 is (appaarently) Bahia Red but i've seen so many different shades of red all perporting to be Bahia red I'm now confused

Not very helpful but I have a feeling the colour of anything you look at online completely depends on the set-up of your monitor. In other words, even if you find a reference for bahia red it will look different on your monitor compared to my monitor, compared to the next person's monitor.

The only way you can know if what you're looking at on your monitor is actually Bahia Red is if your monitor's been professionally calibrated.

Could be wrong, I'm sure some the designers on here will know a bit more about it.

Another idea might be to get in touch will some paint companies and see if they can send you some card samples. They should be spot on.

There is an online colour database here:

...but when I just tested it to get paint code for my silver '73 nothing much happened...

Good luck..

This is Bahia Red, a lovely colour IMHO

Mines Bahia red, majority of which is orginal paint (so maybe slightly faded).

Don't know if this would be of any use/help?
