I've found that in general, whatever color Porsche releases a new car in for their advertising/marketing is the best color.
991gt3? White
Boxster spyder? White
Cayman GTS? Carmine red
There's a reason they pick these colors to show off the car.

New Color Change
White looks good! Change over from Aqua Blue.

Looking at pictures I definitely second guess my choice, but then I walk out and look at the car and in white it just looks the business. The pictures do not do it justice and although I love the 991 in black it hides all the best parts of the car. Like you said to each his own but do try and see the colors in person. The white really is fantastic in the flesh!

I believe more than 60% of all 991 GT3's are white. What's the deal? No offense - everyone is different, but I really think white weakens the car, and hides the lines. Obviously I am in the minority. Is it a heritage thing or is white truly the color the "pops" for you?

White is 911CUP production, see 50 lined up new all the way back to the 70's will make you see white.
996RS only came in white, main color 997.2RS was white, promo posters 997.1 GT3 was white. 80% of the 4.0s are white.
All my GT3's were white.

TEHO regarding color choice....very personal. For me, the fact that a certain color is the most popular is a great reason to get something different. If I were actually going to put decals on my GT3 I would have considered white so as to have a nice blank canvas, but otherwise.....

it is well documented that white is the fastest color.
red is nice
blue is trendy
green is horny
black is classy
silver is pavement
agate is gravel
all very nice color
but white is FAST.
that's all that matters

And there you have it. Wannabe. But it isn't, so stop trying to look like it!
I rest my case.

Reds terrible. Tickets and Porsche even needs to prime it red to make it stick. Reds heavier so slower. White is less weight is faster also when you start stripping in white you don't see the overspray and stuff.
Everyone knows this Mike.
It's why my 4.0 had white wheels. Lighter faster.
Many CUP parts find their way to GT3's might as well have it in the correct color.
Unless they start putting at least SOME race parts in the RS or start racing what they sell should ban white even as PTS (they tried with 997.1RS) and I'm going orange green or purple.
