That's IMHO also a really nice combination! Very special! I chose white because I am going to use it as a daily car. For weekends it's really nice to have something like that! If you push it through please share pics of us of it!

The best color is the color you choose. No wrong color out there( maybe mahogany).
SBM for me

I'd say Agate Gray (a little darker) and GT silver (quite a bit lighter).....

I really, really, really hope they don't change the looks of the 991.2 GT3's. The bodyshape is pure perfection. Don't change a single thing. Not even the tailights.

In fact, maybe they should use this body instead of the Turbo/RS wide body if they plan to do a 991.2 version of the 4.0RS.

I'll take mine in Dark Olive Metallic or Liquid Metal Chrome Blue...

After seeing Rhodium in person (on a c4s), I decided to change to GT silver...

Ya, its too "pretty" for me given the purpose of the GT3. I want something a little more "edgy". I still don't think there are any really great colors that don't cost a bunch of money. And the fact they even offer lime gold for the car is a disgrace.

I had the same impression of Rhodium, for a silver it has too much of a blue / violet tone for me.

What I don't get is for 2014 they introduced new colors that are not as good as the old colors.

2013 Aqua Blue Metallic vs. 2014 Sapphire Blue Metallic
- Aqua is deep and powerful
- Sapphire is vibrant but lost the depth and fullness of Aqua

2013 Ruby Red Metallic vs 2014 Amaranth Red Metallic
- Ruby has a candy apple feel
- Amaranth has too much Salmon or Persimmon

2013 Platinum Silver vs 2014 Rhodium Silver
- Platinum has a warm gold undertone, gives a strong feeling
- Rhodium has the blue/violet cast to the point of feeling light blue weaker, softer

I have seen all the above colors in person multiple times except Sapphire - I've looked at every picture of Sapphire and a color board - it definitely lost the feel that Aqua had.

I haven't seen Speed Yellow or Racing Yellow in person, but there are certainly sentiments that Racing Yellow lost something that Speed Yellow had.

I really do not understand the 2014 color selection from Porsche.
