But, as you said a few responses up, Python looks like 'just green', 'like when paint was paint.' I agree with that, it's just a green, a dead-on green tree python green. Nothing really special about it like some of the PTS greens, which are more complex IMO. Which is fine, because color is subjective and just because something is PTS doesn't mean everyone will like it. When I look at a car in Python, it looks like a green you'd get if you went down to Home Depot and asked for 'green paint'.

Now that I have seeing the color, on a car, in person, most of the photos posted, including mine, show the green muted, soft.......it's more vivid and bright in person....really happy with my choice.

Ended up a long time on the showroom and was later sold bellow MSRP...I can imagine the owner justifying the color: "Ohhh but it's a Special Color, PTS which is hard to get and another $13K!"....still ugly to me.
All colors are special for their owner, unless you choose a color for the next owner. All Porsche Greens are great (except Mint Green IMO)...love them all, same goes for Oranges.
But saying a color is not special....hmmmm...well that's like your opinion.

I've heard PG described as more pastel like. Still a bright green but a little muted and softer in the hue whereas Viper Green is just bright and green. Wondering if PG as it relates to VG is the same as how Riviera Blue is softer than Mexico Blue?
I do like the combo on the Turbo. I think the greens complement each other nicely. If I didn't have the PG to compare the LG seatbelts to, I would say the LG looks like a nice green but with your seatbelt and door jam/area comparison, you can see that LG is a little more yellow or a lighter green, at least to me.
Seeing this combo, I wish someone would have ordered Miami Blue or one of the other bright blue colors like Riviera Blue, Mexico Blue, or Voodoo Blue with Speed Blue interior stitching to see how that combo would look like.

Lizard is definitely lighter/brighter, more yellow but the combo looks great as long as you don't go crazy with interior areas in Lizard Green (like seat centers that were available on the GT3RS)
I have seen Mexico in person and love it! You could say Miami is like PG when compared to Mexico

Anyone who says there are good colors and bad colors is a racist.
Color is the most personal choice and does not impact performance or functionality like other options. There are no wrong answers. I even like the Superman, McDonald, and Christmas color combos.
The biggest issue with new colors (and PTS) is describing them to those who have not seen them (I took a flyer on a PTS I had never seen in person, as pictures are not the same as in person. I am very much looking forward to seeing Python in person.

Any Spyder or GT4 owners out there with Python yet? There’s that (very nice) GT4 dealer photo but it looks a bit forced. Curious to see some more casual photos of this colour by owners. Already have my car (Carrara) but very interested to see more of python as green is my favourite colour.

Python looks very similar to Viper Green and that is the most desirable color on the 997 GT3 RS. At one point they were selling for over $300k while "regular colors" were around half that price.
Python will definitely be a rare color due to people's hesitant feelings about it, but it may end up being the most desirable in the long run..

Historically epic colors have never been particularly desirable when ordered. It's always easiest and safest to just order silver.

There are some pictures on RL comparing viper, green, signal green (both formulations) and pure green which are all similar but have noticeable differences. Python seems to be in that family to my eyes, but I won’t know until I see it in person.
