Thanks - if that’s representative then it’s not for me - interesting how different it looks to other images of OGM on this thread

I approve of this thread - quite fond of Rainforest Green, never seen it on a newer 911. If you ask nicely you can match the interior to your dog!

Hi is Rainforest green the same as Forest Green ? Love the pooch

I ordered a Taycan in Oak Green, it looks very different under showroom lights than it does real world.

Real world on an overcast day it's much darker.

Showroom pick:-



Real world pick same car:-




Overcast drizzly day on my drive:-



The last two image are much more prepresentative of what the human eye sees. Cameras seem to lighten this colour somewhat under electric lighting.

I’m not sure tbh - I swapped a normal slot that I think I would have had by now for a PTS slot which they said could delay it up to 4-6 months, to which I said fine. They did say it had moved to 2023 now that you mention it, but also said that means it will still be in delivered in early Q3 this year - I don’t really get why a 2023 car is delivered in 2022 but I think that’s a “thing”

I’m glad I haven’t had to lock it in yet as I’m still non the wiser

R, maybe you should start with the preferred colour for the various stripes and decals that will obviously be added, then work back from there on the body colour

Lol - I think I’ve finally kicked the decal habit - must be getting old

Oh that's a shame was looking forward to seeing them, must say the Spyder ones did look pretty cool

It did look good - sold it now

What happened to the other thread from February? Thought you'd picked a colour..

No not yet - still hasn’t locked - this thread started out as a plea to find anyone with a physical car in any of the colours on the short list that I could see in real life, rather than a “which colour do you like” thread. However, it seems to have turned into the later, which is great - always nice to hear what people think

My Forest Green GT3 Touring has just arrived but I'm afraid it would be a bit hard for you to view as I am in New Zealand. I have been trying to get some good photos of it but the colour is very hard to capture, I will probably need to get a pro to take some.

I think you should definitely not get Forest Green though, so then less people have it. In all seriousness it is an amazing colour and I am very happy with it. There are a number of resources online now which are helpful but I don't think they really capture colours properly, I have a Gentian Blue, Adventurine Green and Forest Green vehicle now and they don't really look like most websites show. The best thing is using actual photos of real life cars but even that isn't perfect, which is why I understand you are trying to see some with your own eyes. When researching myself (I spent a lot of time on this) I used Instagram a lot which you can use to search for people who have hashtagged with the colour options. I also used a thread on Rennlist which I can't find now where someone went to a centre (in the US I believe) that specialised in PTS and they had all the colour samples. The person photographed a number of options side by side including a lot of the greens, that helped a lot.

In the end for me I chose Forest because it is the most true green, leaning to a smidge of blue-green. Oak Green is more of a golden hued green and Olive a black hued green. I also didn't want to do Oak because it is quite on trend now and I try and avoid that. In general green is on trend but that's what I wanted so oh well.

Thanks, very helpful

Pleased that having looked through all the photos, am still happy with my PTS choice, although couple of months before see it in real!

What have you chosen again ?
