What is the paint code for Porsche Sepia Brown?

Which Porsche models and years came in Sepia Brown?

Is Sepia Brown a Paint to Sample color?

How can I tell if a Porsche is factory Sepia Brown?
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 L415. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
