My Dad’s friend had a Brown Mercedes 300D back in the 80’s about that color, I thought it looked like Poop then and still do. He got rid of it for a barf green one a couple years later. I saw they made a piss yellow one too around that time? Why?

That's horrible. Old man spec for sure.

Yeah, urine-yellow (as opposed to actual yellow) is also a thing

Easy with the "old man" comments.

Welcome to the 70 and 80's when there were lots of brown and green cars. I like it.

Admittedly... Years ago when I saw the very rare Brown car, I was like... Nah.

But as a now Middle Aged Man with much more discerning tastes in everything than I had in my 20s and 30s, I appreciate unigue and non vanilla type shit.

In fact... There was a time where I thought Grey on cars was bland and generic. Today I own a Brands Hatch Grey M8GCC and a Donnington Grey X5MC. So yeah... I view the world much differently these days and appreciate far more than I used to.

Donnington is a timeless color!!

Why buy an expensive car and paint it an ugly color, just so you have something different. That Porsche was plenty different already.

The problem with the new brown p-cars is the brown works when it's elegant simplicity and there's nothing simple or elegant about a GT3RS.

It's a racer for the road. Very busy and it clashes with all the fucking tweed.

Macadamia Brown is beautiful. I have seen many Porsches in that color but there was this one 991.2 Turbo and the owner had a wonderful correction and polish done…..oooh lala.

I'm certain it was amazing! 👍🏽

Reminds me of root beer.

It’s a nice colour for an HZ Kingswood.

Let’s just call this a Ted Bullpit spec.

Some years ago -- circa late 2008/early 2009 -- looking at used 911s. Found a couple in Macadamia Brown. A very striking color. I was seriously tempted.

But decided to buy a new 2008 Cayman S.

Oh, new Cayman S was in Speed Yellow with black leather interior.

Firmly disagree. Metallic Paint has so much depth, mystery, and color shifting. It essentially took paint to a different level.
Now Matte or Flat Paint can vanish for all I care.

I've owned Mineral White and now own Brands Hatch Grey and Donnington Grey.
I will never return to one dimensional paint.

Oh yeah... Speaking of this Gorgeous Macadamia Brown on my next M5...
Someone beat me to it and I'm in love!
