Porsche has produced 7 distinct other colors across every generation from the 356 to the 992. This page is the complete index — every factory other paint code, every PTS other, with hex values, model availability, and the years each color was offered.
The "other" family collects unusual shades that don't fit the standard 13 — chameleon paints, multi-tone finishes, and the rare two-tone PTS commissions. These are some of the most collectible cars Porsche has ever made.
Most "other" entries are special factory commissions, race liveries adapted for road cars, or PTS Plus bespoke matches that fall outside the normal color wheel. They are by definition rare and almost always one-off or very-low-volume.
Our database currently tracks 7 other Porsche paint colors, including 0 that are exclusive to the Paint to Sample (PTS) program. The count grows as we document additional historical and PTS-only shades.
Among other 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.
The current PTS catalog includes 224 pre-approved colors. For a custom other not on the standard list, PTS Plus lets you commission any specific color subject to a feasibility study, with lead times up to 11 months.
Color affects resale on a model-by-model basis. Certain other colors — especially low-production factory shades and well-chosen PTS commissions on GT cars — can carry significant premiums in the collector market. Volume-era other 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.
