Rare Shades is most often described as a show that celebrates Porsche colors—both rare factory and paint-to-sample hues, but underneath the surface, the show has much more to say.
Rare Shades helps convey the emotional impact of Porsche's sports cars. Part of this boils down to the thrilling way they communicate at speed as one of the very best tools for the job, but also how they transform into coveted design objects while sitting still—even by those who have no interest in cars at all.
Color adds to this allure, and it's a quality that newcomers to cars and seasoned Porsche collectors can admire equally. Rare Shades was designed to be a living forum, a gallery of carefully selected cars that will start conversations, stir creativity, and enable even the most fanatic fans to see Porsche in a brand new light.
After Rare Shades events in Scotts Valley, Atlanta, Pompano Beach, Los Angeles, Summit Skywalker Ranch, and Toronto, Rare Shades is headed for the Big Apple on May 16, 2026.
Tickets and vehicle submissions are now available in limited supply. More info at the link below:

INTRODUCING RARE SHADES FILMS
Thanks to support from Carlas USA, 000 Magazine and Rare Shades will debut a quartet of films that tell stories about exciting Porsche colors. This series will help honor the return of Rare Shades and its upcoming NYC show in May 2026 and explore each color’s history and the people who have created, preserved, and cherished these hues over time.
The first Rare Shades film focuses on a color near and dear to Justin’s heart: Moonstone. If you have been following him, you’ve witnessed his passion for “one of the rarest colors in Porsche history” and his determined quest to uncover its genesis.
