The right mood to suit: Darkolivemetallic is a sophisticated colour that can be used to create a variety of moods and styles in one design. The dark green shade reflects the colour of black olives, whose intensity generally ranges from dark green to black. With its pleasant appearance, Darkolivemetallic not only exudes stability and a down-to-earth quality, but it also makes a true statement. Darkolivemetallic was introduced with the 911 Turbo S (996) in the late 1990s and was later available on both the 911 (997) and the 718 Boxster and Cayman (987) model series. Depending on how light and shadow hit the surface of the vehicle, Darkolivemetallic can shimmer from black to gold-green. Due to large metallic flakes in the paint, this can create a ‘flop effect’ that leaves a lasting impression.
