?Cobalt (guess - did not look at that one's label)
Rest is: I looked at those labels
Riviera
Mexico
Sapphire Metallic

This photo is getting a lot of mileage - should have take more pix!
Actual is lighter that you see here as the room was "darkish" - no sunlight that day

Thanks Henry. As you might be able to tell from my Avatar picture I'm a "blues" man - GT3 is SBM - and I thought my PTS "to die for color" was Voodoo blue but as I'm learning unless you've seen these colors in the flesh you really don't know what the real color is. Just out of interest are any of the samples on the wall Voodoo blue then?

Not enough time has passed, to be honest. I only submitted it for feasibility review in September. Usually takes 10 - 18 months, based on what I've been told.

Thanks for the initiative GreenLantern, I hope 226 becomes reality. Do you have a second choice in mind? I sent my request in early this year but did not hear anything, then just finalized when PTS was firmed up.. Hopeful, as this colour is stunning. Next choice is 253 which is great, but a 226 is over the top.

Sadly, despite my best efforts, I still don't actually have a confirmed 991.1 GT3 RS allocation. I keep hope alive that PCNA will succeed in securing more production capacity from PAG, but who knows. PAG is notorious for keeping things tight early, then letting out a slow trickle after quarter or two.

In terms of a second choice if 226 isn't done in time, I'm actually convinced that 226 will *not* be done in time since the PTS offering for the GT3 RS isn't a "normal" PTS window / offering. As far as I'm told, only what's on the *current* approved list has the possibility of being approved for the GT3 RS.

As such, I'm leaning towards non-Green colors for my RS. Most likely Maritime Blue.

My dealer checked for me last week on 226 and it is 100% a no-go on the RS. I'm sticking to my Viper Green over Black/LO interior, factory has locked my build for a week or so now so not like I can change my mind...

Congrats on the Viper Green. Very nice choice.

Indeed.

Sadly, it's not even done with its PTS feasibility review. Even if it finishes, and is approved now, it'd still be "too late" for the GT3 RS given that they aren't doing a real PTS window on it.

I'm just hoping that by the time I get an allocation, PTS will still be available to me.

Viper Green sounds awesome! Can't wait to see your car.

Thanks Gents - though until I have a painted green key for the car in my hands I'm not counting it as done after the 991 3 mess...

Agree 100% with that sentiment.

Default The Moody Blues...and Yellow Submarines!

I am letting Henry have first crack at these questions on colors on the 'Wailing Wall' since he took the photo and some notes. Henry tells us the room was kind of dark. That could have a bearing on how we are seeing this photo too.

Here would be my guess...from how my eyes see them!



Voodoo.....Mexico.....Maritime

But that are just guesses on my part...and Henry took the photo, not me!

A guess again on my part re: Yellows!



Signal.....Atakama....Speed

Hi all,

I can only comment on those panels I read the label on; I have done so above.
Sadly, the rest would be a guess

I will get the entire wall with names my next visit

Cheers,

I did not uncover Voodoo that day - sorry

Thank you Henry. I really thought 3rd row, sample 5 looked like Voodoo but alas. I didn't realize that riviera was that dark. Voodoo is the darker of the voodoo, riviera, Mexico trio right?
Again amazing what the light or lack of it can do a color. Txs again,
