Yes, I remember that one too. It came a week later after our initial conversations re; 'Ultraviolet' on the Consolidated RS thread. I also posted on that one (#71). I am very happy to be in the company of you, Vivian, Reter and others that think this color rocks!
126 were made in this color vs 16 for lilac/royal purple
Nate,
That 73rs blutorange looks amazing! I really like the bright colors on the smaller 911s. Gulf blue, Riveria, orange, yellow. But for some reason I think the bigger more modern 911s looks better in darker colors. Voodoo, UV, black, Mahogny.
Silver and white works well on all of them.
Different purple? Never saw this before but I guess a lot of history

I don't know gentlemen...first of all on closer inspection that is 'Silver' trim & decals. Maybe it's been altered for color or a special lens filter was used, but that .2 997 gt3 RS below doesn't look 'Aqua Blue Metallic' to me! Photo was provided on a press release on a different topic by PAG & PCNA.
But it's very possible that the photo was manipulated for color by the office that released it. Maybe to highlight the 'smoke' trail over it. Notice that the license plate color also appears a bit 'purple' in the shot, like the paint of the RS:
...and it should be distinctly 'Blue':
Bottom line, gentlemen, we have to eliminate this particular photo from the discussion since it's no clear its 'real' and representative of any shade of the color (ultraviolet, royal purple or lilac) that is a confirmed Porsche factory color paint!
