LOL - This line cracked me up...

Also, aren't some of the colours other manufacturers have created. I'm sure a few in the Porsche PTS palette are BMW colours?
And this didn’t ?

Nogaro blue is a relatively new addition to the PTS list. It was put through the validation process at the request of a customer a couple of years ago.

This is my understanding of PTS. Someone asks for a new colour “to sample”, they pay for Porsche to do the validation of the colour, if it’s a success it gets added to the PTS list and made available to anyone that is prepared to pay for (and wait for) PTS.
indeedy. My understanding too, however it seems this PTS range is perhaps more of a release of historic colours and not solely as a result of that bespoke process.
From what I’ve seen the majority though I grant you, not all, are the former.

Wolverhampton have an Amethyst metallic 992 GT3 for sale, if that's of any help to Mr. RSVP911 and his quest for physical examples of colours.
