Default 991 GT2 RS...lack of color choices?

Looks like I may have a November build slot for a GT2 RS. The color choices for the car on the Porsche web site are limited at best. I'm seeing a much wider variety of colors with the early cars; I'm assuming these are all PTS cars? If not, I'm curious how people are managing to get different colors? At this point I'm being told PTS is not available, though there's always the hope that could change before the build. Are different color choices available in different parts of the world? Seems like Porsche should be offering more color options for the car...at least as many as are available on other cars in their lineup. If you've got a build slot coming up, are you just going with one of the listed colors, or fighting to do something else?

Thanks!

True, but I believe the purple and orange were new for that car. No new colors for the 2RS.

I don't think that was the case here. I know of at least two in the area, unless somehow they either got their orders in early or did a PTS.

Yeah, don't rub it in! I'd take that for the 2RS if it was available. Particularly with the black/green interior .

I'll take the allocation and suffer with Miami Blue and WP.

After-wrap?

I think you could experiment with 2-3 complete color changes for the cost of PTS or WP.

Just saying ...

Good point, and very true. On the other hand, PTS cars seem to do better on resale so maybe you get the cost of PTS back when you sell the car?
