thanks guys - i think brewster is out, it has been replaced by british (with irish an outside possibility)... even with a yellow accent heavy build, it may be a touch "unexciting"....like i could drive the same build when i am 40...

sadly, though i keep trying to kick viola out, i think it is still live...like you guys said above, it is unique with just enough pop...just scared of the moving eggplant and shiny purple car stigma haha

kicking signal back out of the top contenders.

thanks as usual,

in the meantime, when I said I wanted some pop, Signal Yellow reemerged.... can I throw that into the mix now ...

dark green (brewster, Irish or BRG)

viola metallic

signal yellow
Signal yellow is one of my favorite PTS colors. If I were doing PTS, my short list would be: signal yellow, signal orange, gulf orange, gulf blue and voodoo blue.

UPDATE:

all the greens are dead - I need a little life, it just doesn't excite me enough.

Viola is still live, and i think has the edge.

Signal is in second place...I have never seen it, and it is a bit polarizing. I live half the year in NYC, so i think taxi automatically and maybe better on an RS...but some of the photos are just epic and it has a classy saffron tone.

Licht grun and gelb grun have life.

It’s not taxi yellow. At all. Ask Moody to send you a few good pics of his.

I hate yellow cars, but I looooooove Signal Yellow.

Agree - Viola matches the extroverted nature of the car. Be different. Love the color.

Yes, I agree Viola is a great colour which will match the cars character.

Go for it!

thanks a lot guys....you have all been extremely helpful.

I realized the dark greens are lovely but are too classy for me ... give me ten years haha

the viola is pretty much the winner (silver v black wheels, and black v standard leds, TBD - i will try and get some renderings)...but viper green is still being considered. I definitely love that the viola is subdued but wild in certain lights, kind of suits the personality of the car well, as you guys said...and seems to suit my personality...75% conservative haha.

thanks again -

Speaking of Brewster Green:

I’m moving into a new neighborhood in Ldn. I’m loving the collection of cars parked randomly on the street.

BUT

there’s what looks like matching Brewster green 997 turbo and FF parked next to each other, with, wait for it.......red interior!

Wow,it’s festive!
