Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

What does it look like.....is it a cross between Gold & Metallic Champagne. That is what mine looks like. I STILL have not checked my freakin color code.....
POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
YES, paint code L555. https://rennlist.com/forums/attachme...hmentid=133535 here is a pic. I was once told it was mirage but that is not correct.
POST 4Original post
Yep....looks just like mine. I have "Boxter Red" interior. The combo has really grown on me! This is mine
POST 5Original post
I have a 2000 C2 Cab in that color. It's very unique.
POST 6Original post
Wow. Nice. I don't think I've ever seen that color on a 996 before.
POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
I have a black interior. I really like combo.
POST 8Original post
Very nice color combo!
POST 9Original post
looks an awful lot like MIRAGE Metallic to me
POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Well, not sure what, if any difference between the two? Anyway, the paint code is L555, maybe they just renamed it to mirage at some point in time.
POST 11Original post
Maybe you mean Meridian, like mine on the left
POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
maybe... i don't know. was there a 993 color named mirage?
POST 13Original post
Well after thinking mine was meridian, and then something else (can't remember what). I found the Touchup kit that came with the car in my rollaway box. Sure enough, Paladio metallic. It's really grown on me.
POST 14Original post
I came close to buying a Coupe that color. It had Turbo Twist 18" wheels that were painted black and I didn't think the wheels looked good but actually liked the car color. I had an XJS that was Satin Beige and I thought the color was too close and wanted a change.
POST 15Original post
It was originally called Mirage Metallic. Not a bad color at all. Seen it with Boxster Red and Met Blue and Black interiors.
POST 16Original post
I finally checked my color code & yes it is L555......I figurerd it had to be.

I've got a 2000 C2 Cab also, Paladio with a black interior. Until the Hershey swap meet this year I had never seen another 996 in Paladio.

^^^ Where'd you get those headlights? Were they from the guy on the Boxster forum that doesn't make them anymore?
POST 21Original post
Lovely color. Many years ago I had a E34 BMW in that colour . 996 looks very classy in that color
POST 22Original post
There's a cab for sale in my neighborhood in this color and Nephrite Green interior.
POST 23Original post
Sure beats silver!
POST 24Original post
Nephrite Green interior is underestimated imo. I had second thoughts when i bought my 996 but love it now, looks awesome under the sun and relaxes the eye

in transitional light it takes on more silver. In bright sun, it�s a much different, almost bronze color. Very cool. I have the natural brown full leather interior and really love how that enhances the 996 inside. I could have paid $8k less for silver with black inside but never regret my decision to seek out something unique.
