What is the paint code for Porsche Jarama Beige Metallic?

Jarama Beige Metallic has carried Porsche paint code M1W (labels M1W/D5 (2004–05) and M1W/G8 (2006–08)). Porsche reuses names across eras with different codes, so match the code on the car's option sticker or build sheet rather than the name alone.

If you see it on a model or year not listed, it may be a Paint to Sample order or a respray — the build sheet for the VIN shows which.

Is Jarama Beige Metallic a Paint to Sample color?

Our sources list Jarama Beige Metallic as a standard color rather than Paint to Sample. Porsche's Paint to Sample program can still apply many past colors to new cars, so a recent car in Jarama Beige Metallic may be a PTS order.

How can I tell if a Porsche is factory Jarama Beige Metallic?

Read the paint code on the option sticker (in the maintenance booklet and, on most models, in the front luggage compartment) or on a build sheet for the VIN, and compare it with M1W. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
