PTS Mint green. Decidedly reminiscent of the bathroom suite colour Barratt et al favoured in their infamously low rent spec housing builds of the late 70s.
I'd have that over any monochrome option.

Admittedly some greens are currently very popular!

Oak, acid and brewster.....

Quite remarkable that Romans Brewster GT4 sold very quickly for £129k last year.....

Brewster Green does suit a Bullnose TransAm better though

All of these colours are vile, particularly the Mint Green and Sapia. But I always thought I was alone, Ive rarely seen a PTS choice that made me think "yes!, thats the colour Id choose". I was always confused as to why someone would pay for the privilege of applying an awful colour!

I can't find a picture of an example, but there's a frozen berry Taycan with green wheels around here. Horrendous.

Hmm, looks like Rubystone, but maybe not quite, which is one of my favourite Porsche colours - needs to be on a transaxle or 964 though.

PBJnr2 wants a pink Porsche so I’ve mad a deal with her - she keeps her end, I’ll see about getting my 968 wrapped early-90s Rubystone, a la…



Not all the colours would appeal to me but glad someone gets them!

What I don’t understand are people that go to the extra hassle and expense of having their car painted a shade of monochrome - surely there are enough out there already?

The thing with paint to sample is it’s so rarely “paint to sample” these days.

It’s just an expanded pallet of pre-approved colours that Porsche will let you choose from.

Whe was the last time you actually saw a true paint to sample? There was a 992 GT3 that was done recently in Aston Martin Racing Green.

This is the proper pts Rubystar on which the current Rubystar neo (£2500 option) is based

Macadamia met is a stunning colour for a GT3. One of my faves. Looks classy on this GT2 too. It needs sunlight to really show its depth.


Brown for the win (sometimes...)
