Offering fantastic paint options is one of the ways [Porsche ]()has kept its designs fresh and exciting, despite remaining so familiar over the decades. And now, as part of its 75th anniversary, Porsche partnered with Backdrop, the Los Angeles-based paint and design company, to turn four of its most beloved colors into paint for your home. One of the colors is quite possibly Porsche's most iconic—Irish Green. Not only is it the perfect shade of green for a sports car but it debuted on the [Porsche 356C]() in 1964 and then made its way to the first-generation 911, where it quickly became a fan-favorite. Interestingly, Irish Green is also the favorite color of Wolfgang Porsche—younger brother to Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, who designed the 911. When Porsche built its one millionth 911 in 2017, it was painted in Irish Green. ![]() Riviera Blue, which is my personal favorite Porsche color, is also one of the colors you can get. It's famous for being one of the very limited color options on the 1997 Porsche [911 Carrera RS]() and it's the perfect shade of blue for a 911. It's a bit bright for wall paint but will certainly help liven up a room. One of the colors you can buy is one that's become even more popular recently, Ruby Star. It's a vibrant magenta that was inspired by the Porsche 953 Paris-Dakar rally racer and it's one of the brand's most popular colors at the moment. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The last color is Speed Yellow, which is sure to brighten up a room. While Speed Yellow doesn't have the history or fame as the other Porsche colors, it's one of the brand's best and most interesting. I'm no interior designer, so I can't tell you which type of room these colors would work best in or how to decorate the room that they do go in. It's also pretty expensive for paint, at [$75 per gallon](). However, I can say that there may be a coat of Irish Green going up in my home office sometime in the near future. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
