Fixed it for you. And yes, color choice is extremely personal, although there are universally liked colors for both men and women, called 'main stream'. Or the 'safe' colors for resale, like white, black, and silver/gray tones. It's like a bell shaped curve. The more extravagant colors probably appeal to more outgoing personalities, and probably on the younger side. I basically found the car with all the options I wanted (including 6MT), and $15K below MSRP... but it was pink (aka ruby star neo), which was a hard pass for me, so will have to pay (and wait) a lot more, for something quite a bit more subdued (GT silver), that goes more with my age (62), AND not wanting to attract attention to myself. Ha ha. But that's the beauty of having choices.

Eh i'll be the one data point that doesnt fit that assumption. I'm a massive introvert. To the point where i'll always choose staying at home playing video games over going out and where just the mention of social interaction in person is enough to make me tired. But i LOVE loud colors. As you can see my GT4 was Python Green. And may GTS while being a more subdued Aventurine Green, was chosen because i'll choose green over everything else if the choice is there. However if it wasnt, my next choice was Carmine Red. I'm also 40 so not young nor old, i'm right in the middle.

When I bought my Miami Blue Boxster GTS, the salesman noted they also had a Python Green GTS and that both had been traded by a 30 yr old professional gamer as they were cars for him and his wife -- for a 718 GT4.
