I have gt silver and would kinda agree.... It is very subtle and does not really stand out no matter how clean I keep it. If, or when I do it over, it will be red or white for me!

Default Yellow or GT Silver

RY with some stripes to spice it more.

Was not a yellow guy originally, but must say this color has grown on me. Get lots of compliments on the color. Suppose those that don't like just don't say anything. IMO, sporty and fast should be bright. BUT, in the end it is all a personal preference.

Had a friend say the other day, "I'd take any color....it's a damn GT3. That kinda says it all.

The 991GT3 looks good in every color. I prefer the GT silver.

So if you are okay standing out and yelling for attention when you cruise around, yellow all day. It looks awesome.

Besides, a bright color can cheer up a foggy day...

Now there's a great pic. What's the castle in the back ground?

I'm so excited about this new gt3. After carefully consider all the cars in this price range, I just can not choose other car rather than GT3, though I have owned a 991 GT3, lol. "GT3 addictive!"

Currently I am choosing between yellow and GT Silver. Could you guys share your thought on these two color options? I rarely see a GT3 in these two colors, especially a yellow one.
Made up your mind yet???

+1 fun color. I'm not a yellow guy- prefer red or blue in bright colors.

GT silver. Ended up speccing TWO new gt3s in them I ended up liking it that much. Its just a great color and super super super easy to take care of. There is a level of subtlety to it yet at the same time it just ticks all the "euro" boxes. The GT3 is already a screamer of a car, so I appreciate the little bit of stealth that comes with a richness not found in the non-metallics. I did consider agate too, but thought that was just an in btw silver and black and I've had both...glad I went GT silver.

Should you have sufficient data on the RS and base GT3 of any generation at resale w/respect to color to prove your point, regarding average days on market and net gain/loss at resale keeping in mind mileage, options, tracking I think many of us would be very interested ... such an analysis would be challenging and require a large number of cars.

Just trying to keep a fairminded view of the consequences of each of our color choices.

IMO, the important factor is that each of us is happy driving the color we choose ... either on or off track.

Thank you guys for all your replies. I guess I would go for GT Silver. Not sure how to describe my thought process, but I want the color to stay in low profile and let the car itself to pop out. RY is really a nice color, but since I want to keep this car for a long time, maybe I need to choose the color which fits my lifestyle.
