What is the paint code for Porsche Oak Green 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 265, 22L and M6E. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
