Here are a few pics of Brewster Green that I think look good and reasonably accurate for their respective lighting conditions. Both have silver highlights, wheels, headlights. Which I think looks better than examples at bottom of Brewster Green with black wheels.

On the 911 R at very bottom, there are a lot of CXX options including wheels painted in Brewster Green, stripes, mirrors painted silver, and hood painted black. While I like the side stripes and silver mirrors, I'm not a fan of the matched wheels and black hood, which both tend to cause the Brewster to seem almost black, too. I think it would look better with more contrast with the wheels silver and the hood in the same Brewster Green as the rest of the car, the silver top stripes being enough going on on their own on top.

My short list was:

1. dark greens
2. viola metallic
3. viper green
4. signal yellow
5. golf blue/voodoo

I think you narrowed the list well and should stick with your gut. Don't worry about whether someone else in same city has ordered one color or another. You can't control what others will buy or have now or in future. And even if you get the same color as someone else, you can customize yours enough with other choices (colors or wheels, headlights, stripes if you want, interior colors, etc.)

Winged, I think Brewster Green.

Touring, I'd go with Viola Metallic with chrome trim.

thanks so much for posting the pics of both, super helpful. I am gonna have to stick with my narrowed shortlist - thanks for reinforcing, scared to reopen that can of worms... Based on your pics, I can't lie, the Viola crushes Brewster. We can deal with trim and rim colors after...which will be painful haha.

Too subtle.

Thought long and hard about viola. Viola purple maybe.

Of your choices, viper. I love that colour on a GTx.

My understanding is that Porsche and the Ingram's have an agreement that Viola Metallic is reserved only for them.

Interesting shortlist.
Two subtle colours and three loud ones.

What about arena red?
It is not very common and really nice also.
I ​think that it would be interesting on a GT3.

Yeah, my inner conflict comes out. This is a weekend toy and i am still young enough to have stupid bold color was my thinking...but after seeing Miami and similar colors in person, I realized they simply aren't me. I would love it if a buddy had one, but i couldn't park that in front of a grocery store or restaurant and try and pry my butt out of the sport seats...

I also like arena, but have a burgundy red metallic 2018 panamera coming and thought the regular carmine and guards red covered the red basics at a good price point...
