Here's another photo of the same car if it helps. Like the last photo, there's no editing, just straight from my phone. I agree with the comment that it's a little milky, and therefore the color is a bit more pink in comparison to your traditional orange. It's miles apart from the 997.1 RS Orange, but not in a bad way IMO. I really do like it a lot.
kelvin, great pics, thanks again
from being there in person, do the standard wheels work well with the color and PCCB? or do you think black would have been better. i started another thread on this so sorry for the crossover
the standards look great to my eyes from the pics

I think I'm in the minority, but I really like the standard wheel finish (platinum satin) with the LO. It really shows the wheel design well and has plenty of contrast from the body to be interesting. While black does look "meaner" I've never been a big fan of black as it often hides detail/shape, and with any sort of dust and dirt it ends up looking brownish. At least with the standard grey, when it gets dirty it ends up either looking darker grey or bronzish at worst.
Sadly I can't say I'm fortunate enough to be an RS customer, but if I was, I'd order it just like I saw yesterday. It looks pretty special to me, and I've never gravitated towards purple (or green in the previous RS for that matter).
Lastly, I think the black accents of the RS looks great on the LO. Maybe I was simply excited to see it for the first time, but when I did, I thought the entire package just looked right.
When I was in Shanghai a few months ago, there was a promotional mag in my room that had an artist rendering of an RS in LO and it was deep, rich and racy as all get out. When I saw a cab in LO about a week ago, I couldn't believe it was the same color. Very disappointing.

They look good in standard. It is a sweet color but you really need to see it in real life so you do a decision that make you sleep good a night.
It looks really good indoors and it changes color in the daylight.
Depending on what your preference is it might be your color.
If you go to a Porsche dealer they might have paint sample: Take it towards the windows of the dealership and you'll see what happens to the color.
yes, PTS dead/closed from everything I can gather... there are some cars that were ordered back in spring PTS by dealers that are starting to roll in... voodoo, mexico, light green, etc. but in "regular" models, S, targa, gts, etc. If you want a fun/funky color on a GT3/RS, lava is it, or UV for the RS also
Not the best pic, but a pretty realistic look at the color. It definitely looks washed out in bright sunlight, but I think the color is actually pretty nice in the right light.

The "washed out" look is synonymous with what people are calling "salmon". You can see it on the top of the fender. LO loses that orange "pop" in certain lighting and at certain angles. I would say rounded surfaces tended to look a bit more "washed out" because of the way the curvature causes a more uneven lighting. I looked at the Turbo S they have at the San Antonio dealership and thought the color was pretty unique given its various qualities. Plus the Turbo S gives a good feel for the color on an RS given the shared body parts. What Porsche has done with both LO and UV, which has shades ranging from a pastel-like purple to midnight blue to dark purple depending on lighting conditions (according to pics), is create very unique colors as they certainly don't fit "standard" orange or purple colors.
