M&Ms colors came out in the 50's, perhaps some of them were used for Porsche colors?

When M&Ms started out they were black with white lettering, then when peanut variation came out they changed to colors

Perhaps PCA can convince both companies to come out with a Porsche color / branded version? I am sure each small pack would cost $150 each.
