Porsche has produced 7 distinct gold colors across every generation from the 356 to the 992. This page is the complete index — every factory gold paint code, every PTS gold, with hex values, model availability, and the years each color was offered.
Porsche golds include Light Gold Metallic, Gold Metallic, Hellbronze, and modern Aurum (PTS). Golds bridge the brown and yellow families and were a defining factory finish in the 1970s.
Gold Metallic on the 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is one of the rarest factory color/model combinations Porsche has ever produced. Light Gold and Talbot Yellow were common on early Carrera 3.2 and 911 SC cars. The family is small but historically significant.
Our database currently tracks 7 gold Porsche paint colors, including 1 that are exclusive to the Paint to Sample (PTS) program. The count grows as we document additional historical and PTS-only shades.
Among gold Porsche colors, the most recognizable depends on the era — early air-cooled cars, the impact-bumper era, the water-cooled generation, and modern PTS commissions each have their own benchmark colors. Browse the full list below to see them ordered by year and model availability.
Yes. 1 of the gold colors in our database are part of the current PTS catalog — meaning they're pre-approved and can be ordered on most current 911, 718, Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, and Taycan models for the standard PTS upcharge. See the PTS-only section below.
Color affects resale on a model-by-model basis. Certain gold colors — especially low-production factory shades and well-chosen PTS commissions on GT cars — can carry significant premiums in the collector market. Volume-era gold colors trade closer to baseline.
Solid finishes use single-stage paint and have a flatter, denser appearance. Metallic finishes contain aluminum flake for depth and shift in changing light. Special finishes — including pearl, chromaflair, and certain PTS specials — use additional pigment layers for more pronounced color shift. Use the finish filter on this page to compare.
