Thanks for sharing! It's a pity though that the Touring may not at all be available with PTS...!

sorry I didn’t take pics to confirm. But I think they are Signal and Speed. Signal is more orange of the two.

Great job! Great info.


I feel bad for the poor guys stuck at V180 with no answers on PTS approval. This post for them may feel a little painful.

From these shots taken by you for the blues for me would be between Voodoo and Maritime hands down.

The British green for the non metallic darker greens, the Oak metallic for the metallic greens and for the last i think viper.

I know you said British green out of the 3 non metallic darker greens but if you had to select 1 from each row, which would it be and if you had to select one from all the shots you took then, which would it be?
From all the blues, hard call, but I’m not liking Etna except as seen on the Taga Design Edition in combination with all the other unique exterior details that car has; otherwise too boring, kind of like Graphite Blue Metallic IMO. Voodoo doesn’t do it for me either, pretty common, and I saw it in real life locally on a Macan at dealership and don’t really like. So probably between Mexico, Riviera, and Maritime, all of which are classic Porsche colors.

For metallic dark greens, I like Oak too, but the Dark Olive Metallic looked very interesting. I’ve never seen it on any car though, even in pics.

From ok the light non metallic greens, I think I like Pure Green, but I don’t think I’d ever do any of them, unless I was getting an RS for track only. Too loud for me. reminds me of that scene from Clear and Present Danger when they’re about to bomb the drug cartel leaders’ summit and the guy pulls up to the house in the jacked up bright yellow pickup and both the drug sniper targeting them and the cartel boss greeting him each say, “What the hell is this?”, and then the shiper’s commander says, “that’s your new target...”

Is Gemini approved? That's a beautiful classic blue, you might want to look at it.

I believe Gemini is approved. I also like Oslo. I think ptsrs on instagram has a dark olive metallic picture. I know I saw one somewhere.

I always have trouble distinguishing the difference between Mexico blue and Riviera. Even side by side I still think they are so close. Riviera is lighter but in certain lighting it's impossible to tell. But my favorite blue is definitely Meissen.

This was helpful to me. I forget who posted it. Mexico is noticeable darker.
