No Python for the SRS (launch, at least) is a major bummer. And can’t even pts viper.

I forgot to post these pics from a couple of weeks ago! I finally had the opportunity to see my Python Green GT4 next to a Viper Green GT3. Based on memory, I had expected the two colors to be very close, as Viper is darker and less yellow than Signal, but it turns out that Python is still darker by a bit. They are both gorgeous colors!

Including pic of my friend Jae with stars (I mean cars) in his eyes! ;-)

I normally don’t post my own pictures on the Internet because I’m paranoid, but this thread helped get me through a tough time, so I decided to share a little. Thanks everyone! Please meet Kermey.

I love that view. PG is SUCH A GREAT COLOR!!!!! Not that I am biased, or anything.

My 1400 mile 2021 TTS Cab in Python Green is now live on BAT if anyone is interested.

Very nice. It’s not often you see them parked next to each other. If only a signal green was in the same shot. I really like all three greens.

I’m not sure if I posted this pic already but I got this very early sunrise pic of the similar color scenario as yours.

How do you get your Python Green to look more like in this video? Particularly referring to the start of the video.
My Python Green GTS 4.0 never seems to look quite like in this video. It looks closer to Lizard Green with this lighting.

My Python Green GTS 4.0 never seems to look quite like in this video. It's amazing how different Python Green can look with different lighting. It also seems to me that PPF makes the Python Green look slightly darker than without it. Really just an amazing color, I wonder if Porsche discontinued it for 2024 because they introduced Essmann Green which looks very similar to it. I ordered a 992 911 GTS coupe in Essmann Green hoping that it looks as good as Python Green.

You asked a question, and then answered it. lol One stop shopping!

We need to separate real life from photographs / video, though. Color processing by different cameras makes a HUGE difference. Mega. Monster. My gf's driod phone's pictures POP with insane color brilliance, compared to the same shots with my iphone, for example.

With the effects of light, camera color processing, display software used...find what you like and stick with it.

A good comparison of my PG vs Lizard

I don’t find in person for the color to deviate a ton. I try to explain it as go to a paint store and ask for “green” and this is what you’ll get.

Missed the mark on ordering a new GT4 but will definitely be patient and be on the lookout for any Python Green GT4’s that pop up for sale.

Not a 718, but a righteous spec 911T. It's so choice.

Went for a drive yesterday, drove past The Exchange (Highland Park, IL) and had to stop and take a pic of my GTS 4.0 next to its green cousin. Assuming the Boxster is Olive Green (the license plate said OLIVE). What's weird is in the pic, my Python looks darker but IRL the Boxster looked a bit darker. But I'm somewhat color blind so what do I know...
