I think it’s a terrible idea to let people on or off forums talk you in or out of a color that you are drawn to.
It's not talking people out of a color, but rather see the color yourself before you commit. I believe in the buyer excising due diligence before cutting a 1/4 MM $ check. In the end it's their $, but it's always smart to be careful
I'm in for white, works very well with all the black bits contrasting. White also works well with any liveries should one get bored. All out lizard interior/exterior would drive me nuts after a month.
Whatever colour i go for i love the lizard interior..I am going for Lizard seats stitching and wheel marker but not the Lizard exterior..Its either white,black, GT silver or crayon...

i know you aren’t trying to talk him out of it. My comment was more directed at him. In the past I’ve allowed myself to be influenced by other people’s preferences and have always regretted it. I’ve rarely regretted going with what I’m naturally drawn to color wise.

The safe colors, white, black, GT silver requires less due diligence. The flashier colors require an in person viewing. I would want to take away the risk with the flashier colors and see them in the flesh.

I love my choices but I think each person selects colors (colours) that reflect their personality and there cultural background. The bottom line these are Sports Cars not Funeral Hearses, and whatever your selection you gotta have fun. I understand some people are mindful of the color selections and are concerned about resale but my feeling is if resale is a overriding concern you can't afford the car. I can't tell you how many "used" Porsches I see with 1k miles (+/-).......they never owned the car they were simply caretakers......No matter what we do or choose 50% of the people will love it and 50% will hate so you've got to please yourself.........LG...........Big Smile.

Completely agree. MB got bad rep because many people expected it to be like Mexico Blue or even Signal Blue, and got disappointed when they saw it in real life. But it's a great color on it's own, just not what they expected based on renders or press photos.
Agreed, not feeling the lizard. I love many of the greens, but lizard is too washed out.

Guess I'll be one of the few white RS's
Indoors, low light neon. In direct sunlight outside , washed out. Gelbgrun has a neon look, but never washed out. Viper has a depth lizard cannot achieve. One would be foolish to order an RS without seeing the color, that's how owners achieve disappointment.
I have a viper green GT3 on the way, I love that color. The depth/clarity is Uber nice. .
Our dealer had a viper green GT3 and I found the color to be a bit too much like my lawn. A rather over watered, manicured green. I see that everyday and I’m not looking for that with my RS.
Something bright and highlighter esq, closer to gelbgrun than viper or signal for me.
Lizard ..................may be your color hard to tell with online image but it does look similar to Gelbgrun to me
Agreed. Shmee (youtuber) had quite a difficult time telling the difference between the two at the Geneva show. If a guy that owns gelbgrun can’t really tell a difference then I’d wager it’s quite close.
