Exclamation PTS Indecision: Looking for feedback and suggestions

I have to lock my order in the coming days for my GT4 and have PTS option.

Currently thinking one of these:

Meissen, steel brakes, and red stitching (or Speed Blue!), I think with Aurum wheels.

Auratium Green I’d probably push into PCCB, yellow stitching and Aurum wheels

Black olive, steel brakes with black calipers, platinum wheels, silver stitching

Hellgrün I’d probably do steel brakes, black calipers, platinum wheels, silver stitching.

Any suggestions on other colors to consider?

Of those four, on a Spyder, I'd do Meissen, silver wheels, and red brakes.

Second choice would be Auratium. I don't think either of the last two would look great on a Spyder.

This is for a GT4.

You're probably leaning towards blues and greens, but "Garnet Red" may stick out at cars n'coffee, and be a "one of one":

Definitely a nice color, but greens and blues are more my style.

I like that Meissen Blue a lot on a Spyder. But I'm not sure I'd feel the same way about it on a GT4.

Auratium Green is nice, but again, I don't think I'd put it on a GT4.

Black Olive is... not my taste...

Don't get Hellgrun. Everyone will just think it is Python Green. "Oh no! Can't you see that Hellgrun is much lighter and brighter than Python!?", you protest. No one cares. No one will notice the difference, not even Porsche people.

Maybe look at Lichtgrun (Light Green)?

Everyone's tastes are different. If I was to get PTS on a GT4 it would be some shade of orange or purple - Something completely unlike any of the "standard" colors available.

Can definitely appreciate those thoughts. I always thought Hellgrün was quite different than Python, but maybe they need to be next to each other for people to notice.

Pastel Orange was on my list but my wife isn't a big fan...

Honestly, none of those would be in my top 10 PTS for a GT4, but if I had to choose, it would still be Meissen and red brakes, but I might go platinum wheels over silver. Not sure. Would not do Aurum with Meissen, but that's just me.

What would be in your top-10 for a GT4? I'm open to exploration outside of my comfort zone!

I also wouldn't do silver on Meissen. Platinum would look nice, but I also would love Aurum on it.

Check out Oak Green metallic. With platinum wheels and black painted calipers, that would look epic on a GT4.

On paper Auratium doesn’t really scream GT4 but I think that may be a big risk reward proposition, especially if you added Aurum wheels. I would probably not take that risk myself (unless maybe it was my 3rd or 4th P-Car of a collection) but I’d sure love to see it. Maybe consider black calipers with that combo, I think the yellow might be pushing your luck. Yellow with silver wheels and Auratium would work better in my opinion, but forget all that… let’s see Auratium and Aurum!
