There’s no brown in grey. There is a bit of brown in grey-brown though.

I can’t believe we’re arguing about colour; this is hilarious!

Heh, I'm color blind anyway. Brown, no brown, grey, silver... GT silver is a darker tone than Rhodium silver. It also looks a little deeper to my color blind eyes. It goes along with black accents better, IMO.

Conversations such was whether there is a hint of brown in grey, or a polite touch of blue in silver, used to not happen.

This is back when men were men, everyone ordered the smoking package so they could ash in their car, and the cones of their eyes would know when green was green, Orange was orange, Red was red and so and and so on. And everyone, everyone.. got PTS.

... and I would't be called color blind either back then. I do see and enjoy those pure colors. Its when sh-t hits the fan and gets mixed I have trouble with.

Have Rhodium Silver on my GT3 & TTS. GT Silver on my
Panamera S. Both great colors. Hard to decide which I prefer,
even side by side. No question Rhodium is "Brighter" and
GT Silver subtler, more sophisticated and laid-back color.

Get a Rhodium car and a GT Silver car side by side for yourself and the difference will be obvious.

You'll likely know which you prefer, as I did!

Personally I like Rhodium. Has a nice bit of blue in it to my eyes. I was going to do Rhodium had PTS not worked out. Was looking forward to a Rhodium with silver wheels...thought that would look very classic.

Maspirito, you said it twice, Rhodium Silver is "fairly attractive" and "fairly feminine". Therfore, using your words, if you want to have a fairly feminine and fairly attractive GT3, get Rhodium silver...

To most here, GT Silver "IS" attractive.

Buy what you like....

Here is a rhodiumsilver .2 GT3 (photos on autogespot). I like this cool color, also nice with stripes / decals.


Best

As mentioned already by another.. When I think silver, that's the color/tone I picture in my mind. I would never have gone with any silver prior to seeing this in person. Love the blue hues and to my eyes, it has a satin like finish..

Big fan of silver cars in general so long as it doesn't shade toward blue. Timeless color.

Bumping this because I'm wondering about values / resale of the Rhodium Silver cars these days. Found a TTS in Rhodium.

Resale would not be hurt with RS but your not going to get any more for the color, as well. I happen to like it a lot.
