I've struggled with picking a colour but agate seemed the best choice to me and I've seen in a variety of lighting situations. I would have gone sapphire but my 991 was Aqua blue which I prefer and it seemed too similar.
Great! Glad you've got to see it in a range of conditions! I'm sure it will look pretty bloody special! Are you going black wheels too?

No, have gone old school silver, that's the one but of the spec I am not certain on. The black seemed to lose the design of the wheels. I may get them resprayed in a gloss black. Are you going black wheels too?
Also considering the decals in black or silver or a non-porsche stripe down the middle of the car.
after seeing a carmine red GTS with matt back wheels at sutton cold field OPC with all the options (70+k) I'm totally sold on that scheme, with he PCCB wow what a car you'll have ! so so jealous of all you guys getting one of these, their was once a time id have been able to make the move but sadly my position has changed considerably... very disappointed tbh.
Does it matter whether it is a 'GTS' colour? I've seen it on Boxster + Cayman GTS and it looks fantastic with satin black wheels. The reason it is 'not a GT4 colour' is perhaps because we haven't 'touched' one yet in that colour scheme. It will look fantastic in that combo.
However, Porsche should really delete Guards and change to Carmine and delete Rhodium and change to GT Silver, stop charging extra for these, and add at least a few new free decent colours to the available palette. It's so hard to choose from the current default set because they are so boring.
Rant off!

Good rant, but retain Guards red.
GTS colour accompanied by GTS interior package... £££££
but seriously, it is a beautiful deep red. If it were metallic i would have fallen in love with it.
but i am not a colour person as I spent the budget on the lithium battery to save 13.5 kg
when i had a white spyder, I did think that it would be more special if it was cream white and deliberated whether i should have paid up to get a unique colour/shade.
think most guys would just take the free GR, so the carmine colour would actually be quite rare due to cost...
i must admit, it is some serious man maths going on.
