At first I thought it was stone gray, but I'm not positive .

Looks like Slate Gray, but it is very hard to say. Maybe the owner is a member and will see the question.
There is an old fashion green could it be that one name ?
No, both of those colors have less green in them. Edit. The slate grey has less green. I'm not sure about old fashion green.
Is that auratium green?

PS- another color that is similar is Radium green
Not fan of those wire wheels on second one. Stone grey with a port color interior is top of my most desireable list.
Maybe he changed the wheels Robert. Not sure, it does have the same goofy light on the drivers side.
Headlight buckets are different also. I spent too much time after you posted that looking for which Porsche had a spotlight/mirror combo and came up with what I believe is another photo of that car:
As I suspected it is on a 1955 356 pre-A Bent Window Continental but I can't find any information regarding the spotlight/mirror combo.
That might help you narrow down the paint choice.

The spotlights aren't cheap either as they sell on eBay between $800-$1300.
I know none of this helps with your paint question but I thought it was interesting.
Back to our regularly scheduled question.
That's a wire hubcap, I think. And I think it's pretty dang cool. I like the moons-with-turbo-ring look on the other car (or is it the other pic of the same car?) too. Both unusual.
(P.S. the best thing would be if the owner just had the car hubcapped differently on each side. My father used to do that constantly. Drove me frickin' nutz. That made him happy though).
Back in '66 my dad bought a new Pontiac Tempest - said 326/V8 on 1 side and OHC 6 on other.
Borrani used to make Porsche wire wheels way back too.
Digging on that Borrani. Probably worth a few bucks now?
And, Greg, that Tempest: it was a 389 car, right?
The H & E are much larger fonts on the knock off hub?
I love the wire wheels. I had them on my MG, oh but a PITA, to wash clean and dry.
That car was a, can I say this non-pc? ...a babe magnet. Must been OK this was the early 70's.
