the RHODIUM doesnt get any love i see
unjustified in my opinion :-)
the slight blue works great with all the black accents of the new GT3

Interesting poll:

1. I wonder how many people voted will (a) actually get the car, (b) actually get the color they voted
2. I wonder what that actual color %s will be - anyone have this data for previous GT3: 997, 997.1, 991.1.

I bet GT Silver (or some variant), Black, White combined account for at least 40% of all previous sales.

Had a Polar silver C4S and loved the hint of blue in it. Seeing Rhodium a few times, I think it shares some similar looks.

Yeah, I think there are probably a lot more people checking Miami Blue, Graphite Blue, and Chalk/Crayon in this poll than will actually order it when forced to make a final decision. Many will end up ordering white or GT silver when they get cold feet about one of these colors.

Porsche could've got a lot more love from us if they deleted CWM and Jet Black from the colors offered, which aren't very popular and for most are virtually indistinguishable from regular white and black, and added a couple more interesting color options, especially a green (signal, viper, gelbrun anyone?) and perhaps a darker blue (DBM, midnight, meerblau).

Not ordering a GT3, but yea Rhodium gets very little love. On the GT4 data base only 89 were ordered for NA. But I'm happy I got a semi rare GT4 Probably will be the same for any new GT3 order.

Spent some time at a dealership closely looking at every color in sunlight and in shade. They even moved some cars for me

Was originally going for GT Silver but it is just too "safe" and does not pop for me but a classic and some what mature look. RY is way too light shade of yellow for me but saw one covered in the Stealth(Matte) film - now that looked cool. My GT4 is CR and always looks good but GR is one fine looking color, as well. For the GT4 it was minimal $$ upgrade but hard to justify price wise now over GR. Saw Chalk on a on another car and I get what people like but not for me-not enough pop. Agate gives a little brown hue. Miami Blue-Like it a lot more than I thought. In the shade really a nice blue and in the Sun light is looks like the Carribean ocean. Makes me mellow out. If you like that type of blue( Gulf,Mexico ect - this would certainly work)

The Winner/Chicken dinner - With out any question for me is -"Graphite Blue Metallic". Just freakin awesome. Caught me by surpise actually. Really had a chance to see it in bright sunlight where it looks more greyish and in shade where more bluish. Love it.

YES - no hesitation. I have seen the color before a couple times inside a Dealership and never really paid much attention.Liked it but did not get all excited. When you get it in the sunlight it looks quite different and you can see how Metallic it looks and brings out a grey tone. Looks like that McLaren color in the sunlight. In shade - more blueish looking

These pics have me rethinking GBM all over again, even after looking at it on a 4S last week inside the showroom. Seeing it in these pics in the sun with all the satin black really looks different that seeing it in the showroom. By simplifying the color pallete to GBM and matte/satin black (no silver or chrome) it really looks great.

Congrats! Enjoy it in good health! For some reason i think some colors on GT3 look better than on other 911s or even like the color shade is different.

For example, crayon / chalk on the panamera and the 991.2 carrera looks very different from the pic of the crayon / chalk posted today on the GT3. Also this GBM looks so good on this GT3 i have never seen it look so good before. I have seen the color in person and liked it but in many pictures or videos sometimes i am not feeling it but this pic shared today def should seal the deal for anyone considering it
