At first I thought it was some kind of PPF seam but it appears to me that it's actually the reflection of the edge of the opposite, outside part of the intake duct on the curved inner surface.

Arctic Grey will likely be the most popular colour choice.

If PTS is offered, which colours would work well with the 718 RS?

Personally I would probably get something close to hellgrun or mint

I'm still waiting for Guards Red Metallic to become a thing.

PTS if I did it likely Carmine Red or one of the darker greens would be awesome...

I will never understand PTS choices, what used to be a small upgrade over the typical black/white/yellow/red suddenly becomes unavailable or worse yet a 'major' Porsche option tax!

Presumably it's to force people in to PTS.

"I want a green GT4RS!"
"That'll be an extra 25k."

I’ve seen longer unofficial lists in here in years past when PTS was cheaper, but with Porsche expanding the program they may be changing the standard for “approved” colors.

Here is their official description:

I'm going to get Shark Blue. If I pick PTS I think I might do Riviera Blue or Oslo Blue.
