    Color Check: SQ7 in Oak Green Pearl Effect from Audi South Africa

    At least in paint naming convention, the term “Oak Green” can be a bit confusing because multiple manufacturers have coined the term. Porsche has an Oak Green Metallic and its more recent updating called Oak Green Neo. It’s a great color that other manufacturers such as Audi exclusive will be happy to paint for you. So, that Audi has its own Oak Green, specifically Oak Green Pearl (oakgrünperleffekt; metallic uni; Q82; Audi), can make it more confusing.

    We’re doing our best to be specific and keep track of it all. So, when we caught this post of an SQ7 by Audi South Africa on Facebook, we inquired. The SQ7 in this photo almost looked like the much-more-common District Green currently offered on many Audi models as a standard color. However, it was a bit dark, making it quite close to Audi exclusive Oak Green Pearl specimens we’ve seen in person, so we reached out to Audi South Africa and they were able to confirm that it is Oak Green Pearl.

  • Market Find: Is This BMW Individual M3 Competition Painted Porsche Smyrna Green

    Market Find: Is This BMW Individual M3 Competition Painted Porsche Smyrna Green

    We’re always fans of those creating tailored specifications electing to cross brand borders in selecting a color. Take for instance this 2025 BMW M3 Competition xDrive at Sewell BMW Plano. Ethan Ledbetter from the dealer posted it over on the BMW Individual market & discussion Group on Facebook and confirmed it’s “Smyrna Green”. Based not eh pictures, we’re next to positive it’s Porsche’s Smyrna Green (smyrnagrün; non-metallic uni; S0A; BMW).

    How do we know it’s Porsche’s color? Google it and you’ll see this non-metallic green on the teal side of the green spectrum is pretty unique. While the photos in the post aren’t the greatest lighting, it’s kind of hard to mistake that color.

    Here’s what else we know about the car. It’s got Orange/Black extended Merino leather, Parking Assistance Package, Executive Package, M Drive Professional, M Sport Differential, Mobility Kit, Adaptive M Suspension, M Shadowline Lights, M Carbon Bucket Seats, Drive Recorder and M Carbon Exterior Package.

    We’re going to go ahead and include a link to the Facebook post along with the associated photos for reference below.
