Barnboard was -B
I guess the 87 was a -4 even though it had a tint. But yes, it did come in more than one colour. The other was -5. (The spelling is so Temp can understand)

The NB designation on the Adamas meant No Burst, or another way of saying a solid color. Such as: NB5(Black), NB2(Red), etc.

I've updated the reference section for these colors so far.

Are all of these colors valid for USA Built Models? Are the Celeb and Ovation color codes the same?

I've only been cross checking for USA Ovations and Adamas. I don't know about Celebs...

Jerome,

Be sure to include -NB2 (Solid Red-Adamas) to that list!

That is a LOT of finish options over the years! Serious creativity.

I'd asked the factory about the tobaccoburst finish, they said it's custom-order. There's been so many finishes over the years, it's good we could still get the one we want.

This isn't gay. Knowing the names of more than one shade of beige is gay. I had a discussion Saturday about the subtle differences between Carmen Red and Arena Red Boxsters with several guys and never had any doubts. We tossed in a few words about horsepower and sport exhausts, though, just to be safe.

Let's see ... ecru, parchment, eggshell, cream, buff, flax, khaki, tan, wheat, ochre ...

It's all right Mark, I'm in touch with my gay side. I discovered I am a lesbian.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
