R.I.P. Speed Yellow :(

That yellow doesn't pop at all. The hue kind of reminds me of a dull yellow very popular for GM cars in the 60's called "saffron yellow".

Too bad there wasn't such thing as a "Dent Wizard" back then .

He's referring to a car I purchased decades ago, needed "a bit" of work:

It's actually called "Racing Yellow" and I definitely prefer Speed Yellow as well. I think Porsche wanted to mix up the palette a bit and bring something new, fresh, and obnoxiously loud to the repertoire.

My DD before the Speed Yellow Boxster was a Mayfair Maize 1967 Firebird 400.

I restored that 68 Oldsmobile, changed the color to pearl white since I couldn't grow to like that shade of yellow, believe me I tried to. They used it under different names on Vettes, Chevelles, various Olds and Pontiacs, it was very popular then.
