Most 996s aren't collectible so they can be modified such as changing color, but I would keep your magnificent and rare Zanzibar Red 1A8 stock and with minimum mileage.

We have lots of projects and if we can work it in we will get paint samples to see what the various shades of orange actually look like (pictures on computer are not accurate), then change the color of our 996 to a bright orange.
Replace few things, easier than coloring the whole car

Suggestion · Original poster
In researching orange Porsches, Volkswagens, and other mfgs we realized the color code should always be posted because owners and manufacturers use different names for the same color.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

We looked for an orange 996 but they only made a few 996.1s in 1A8 Zanzibar Red and very few 996.2s, so in the future we'd like to repaint our 8A3 Orient Red 996.2 a shade of orange.
This is the color we wanted 1A8 Zanzibar Red. It's beautiful but not the best orange for us anyway.
In researching orange Porsches, Volkswagens, and other mfgs we realized the color code should always be posted because owners and manufacturers use different names for the same color. The below website is fun and educational and it lists almost all color codes for every vehicle produced.
This page shows most Porsche orange color codes

These are the most of the many oranges 911s have been painted:
1A8 Zanzibar Red
8C1 Rein Orange
019 Gulf Orange
107 Continental Orange
156 Orange
L20E Signal Orange (called Amber Orange when on Volkswagens)
L21E Tangerine (Blood Orange when on Volkswagens)
M2A Lava Orange

Graphics in the link you provided look great. We have lots of projects and if we can work it in we will get paint samples to see what the various shades of orange actually look like (pictures on computer are not accurate), then change the color of our 996 to a bright orange.
8C1 Rein Orange
My choice would be L21E
TANGERINE ORANGE
I think I would like it more than my Orient Red Metallic
I wish I knew how to color photo shop it on an image of my car to see it.
I would also color match the calipers, skip plate and my Roll Bar.
That would be perfect imo
