I'd say the brochures are put together in advance of the model
releases and would tend to list fewer colors than actually wind up
being offered.  It wouldn't be that tough to add exterior colors to
the production line as the year progressed.

Here's an interesting page:
http://members.rennlist.com/chuxter/914Colors.htm   Especially if you
have a 75 or 76 car.  It has the codes, the color name and the RGB
values for each which you can reproduce on your monitor with Paint or
similar programs.  These are 914 Porsche colors, but Karmann produced
these cars too.  So why not use them on both?
