You forgot CWM which would be one of my choices ,quiet a hard paint as well and not soft like red or yellow in 2500+ miles I have no stone chips on my GT4 and I have no paint protection! GT silver is a good choice as well but not black wheels!
CWM looks the same from a distance, even up close 70%of the time, my issue is it's impossible to repaint a metallic car if scratched, the metallic never lines back up, so to choose CMW over white seems a daft choice in my own head. sun comes out and a repainted part sticks out a mile.

If I've learnt anything from the last 4 months it's that PH'ers see colours very differently from each other ... think a lot of it could be down to deteriorating vision with old age biggrin

Here's a Lava 718 I snapped at Solihull, for me this photo perfectly captures Lava's hue in cloudy weather. I really like the colour and only chickened out of it for fear of it boring me after a year or two.
I agree. Lava Orange IMHO looks fantastic in the flesh and online and I don't see the salmon that others do
Andrew /Mr D - there you go - a fully indipendent and unbiased view - you both say sorry now or I'm going to tell my mum on you !

This was in the Daily Mail today. Apparently, only 1% of the population can see the car hidden in the picture....

Lol colours a funny thing, I just think a viper green rs and the Orange were iconic RS colours.

Bold colours look amazing imo on GT cars.

I am not anti lava it looks great on the 991 RS, I wish I had one ;-)

With no PTS on the new GT3 it just feels a shame when you see viper green base cars in showrooms.

Yep real shame on the PTS front - part of me would find a PTS slot stressful - so many to choose from - I would agonise over it - Voodoo , no Birch , no wait a minute , Mexico , umm , Slates a cool colour , then again Signal yellow - that's proper retro but then again so's Rubystone - oh bks - I think I'll just go White - proper race colour - I'd be a mess ! smile

Impossible?! I'm afraid you are wrong.

Reading painted my Gt silver 991 GTS to a perfect match so it can be done.

I was a mess, I had a pts slot and had Mexico blue on order then changed my mind last minute and then lost my pts slot lol. No regrets having Yellow on the GT4 though, it's been a great colour and not as bad as I thought for bugs.

It's the bloody internet oversaturated pic made me choose Mexico.

Slate and Voodoo work really well both great solid colours.

Have you seen the pictures of the yellow GT2 RS ? Silver looks soooo much better.

Assuming there is a PTS option surely something dark like Carbon black woudl look stunning on the GT2RS as I think the black plastic and black accents look a bit strong on the lighter colours, particularly the rear bumper?


That said I'm going Sapphire on my GT3 so apparently according to most people I have no taste!!

Well done on the GT2 allocation.

On the 2RS I'd go either GT or then slate non-metallic
