I'd buy it! I only wish RSN looked that saturated pink in real life. Granted, have only seen them on cloudy days.

Ruby Neo looks much lighter, more pink in the videos vs the configurator, especially under direct Sun. I would have liked it if it was darker and more violet -- it's just too pink for my taste.
Top: how RSN actually looks
Bottom: how I want it to look
I think all the "neo" Porsche colors that have taken inspiration from retro or classic Porsche colors, look a little washed out in photos but better in person
Example, python looks washed out in photos, but under the sun, looks pretty dang close to my Viper Green PTS. Same with Shark. And now this one. I think all 3 look better in person than in photos. Conversely, I think Gentian looks better in photos than in person....
Above is not even close to the way it looks on the configurator! It is way lighter and very pink in real life... and in full sun even more so.
Just took that photo myself an hour ago of a local car from the neighborhood so I could post it here. I'm sure there are some differences from my phone's rendering vs other folk's screens, but side by side, the upper photo looked identical to reality in these cloudy overcast conditions while standing in front of it. The lower one I edited slightly as the upper photo overall looked a little overexposed, making it appear darker.

I totally get what you are saying, yes the upper photo is representative of the actual car in the wild... but what most of us are saying is that it is so much lighter in real life then as shown on the configurator.
I love it on the configurator, then say it in real life, changed my mind, not for me.

Funny enough, my neighborhood also has python green and shark blue. Of the three, shark blue always pops.
Outside and looks washed out. Pro photographer Inside dealership, Pro photographer, washed out. Cheap garage lights, still pops My garage and Samsung
I think the difference for me is that I also really like all those photographed shades of lighter green and blue, such as signal to light green, or mexico to miami, but not so much on the purple/pink scale. 100% love the configurators dark-room version of pure magenta.
I could never capture how vivid my old RS Green 7.1rs was. I’ve seen over saturated pics of frogs online but unless doctored they almost always looked washed out in pics, especially if full sun. Even when I post a pic of a car on RL it ends up showing differently than prior to uploading it. I guess there are so many filters an image is run through that by the time we see it on here: yeah it’s close but it’s random if it ends up capturing the actual real life color.

I also have shark blue, and I have to say my google pixel 7 pro captures the colour very accurately, however if I take the same photo on my wifes iPhones, it's completed over saturated and looks nothing like it should.
Has the cowbell grown on you guys? Now that I see its final sharper shape/form in black (or CF) in contrast of the body color, I don't dislike it any more. Actually prefer it from the front angles...
