Yeah shot all in order within a minute. As I was taking the photos the color I was seeing was not the color on my phones screen either. The difference in light refracting from the camera lens to my eyes is enough to make it appear quite different.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with sleepless nights trying to figure this one out. I've woken up in the middle of the night in a sweat after dreaming of taking delivery of Chalk to realize every one of my neighbors ordered one in Chalk.

To throw my .02 in the bucket here, I think the GT3 deserves a lighter color to do it justice. Agate is gorgeous but I don't think it works on the GT3 IMO. GBM may be the darkest I would go but really would love to see that in person first - GBM plays well off of black trim/wheels and yellow calipers. Voodoo is my dream color but I think it's a just going to remain a dream. So right now I'm debating between GR, GTSilver and Chalk. I never thought I would go red but my 991 GTS is GR and I have never for a single day regretted it. The orange hue in GR just makes the car. It's timeless, sporty, classy and really pops without being over the top like yellow, lava or even miami. Yes, I would make an exception for Voodoo!

Thanks Mr.Vanos. What you said makes me feel better about myself spending hours reading every forum about the new GT3.

I paid a deposit in March last year and spent the whole year thinking of colours but still can't make my mind. I have a white 991 Carrera S and Jet black metallic Cayenne GTS. I am struggling with deciding on color and seats

so either GR with full bucket seats with red stitching . black wheels ? with red rim
or
Miami blue with 18 way seats with silver stitching and silver seat belts
May be Carrera white metallic

I don't want to do white again as i lived with my current car for 4 years and not black it looks gorgeous in black but don't like the fact that black will hide all the black trims

its driving me bonkers

PTS; (one of the blues); was told by my dealer that it would not be available until early to mid 2018 because of PTS.

Def buckets. Any of these below with red stitching. GR just stands out nicely!

I guess things have not changed since GT4. Rhodium silver is least popular. Go for it! Most rare!


I am surprised by the Miami Blue #s

If I were going with PCCBs I would do the silver stitching w. the yellow seat belts. I think it would look classic. I think with red stitching and wheel strip with yellow belt it will look a bit all over the place-But - it is your build and that is what makes building your own "Special".

I was flirting with Metallic black with PCCBs and was thinking silver wheels and stitching with yellow belt. I would have the whole car stealth wrapped for the Matte look. It will be between GBM which is probably the winner but nobody is going with Black so that is my thought.
I have a Audi Rs3 in all black (grill, trim carbon mirror etc) with yellow interior highlights and contrast stiching. Looks really good.

I'm actually glad i saw it out of direct sunlight.





Question.. the vehicle in background brewster green or Irish (british racing) green did you notice ?

In reality most people will order:
1-White
2-Red
3-GT silver

Default GBMd Miami Blue

dealer had these colors on 911s parked side by side

I first saw GBM at Parade in Jay Peak and my first question was what color of gray is that? I think pictures make it look more blue than it looks in person

and Miami looks more turquoise in person than the pictures show

I think Miami photographs much more blue (red) than it actually is "in person" ... some of these photos make it look like Riviera/Mexico, when in reality its
much more yellow/green than either of those colors...
