Which PTS Color should I go with for my GT3
 

Hey good people of Rennlist,

With help of earth and skies and my dealer and salesman I eventually got a GT3 Allocation for toward the end of 2018.
And the best part it seems I can do PTS and CXX on it; and now I am deciding on the color and like to gather some Porsche enthusiast opinions.

These are what I am sure about my build: It will have a wing (No Touring for me), The LED headlights and Wheels will be Black and it will have Ceramic Brake (which means yellow calipers).
The interior will have a Deviated Decorative Stitching which can be Yellow, Red, Orange or Green (Of course you know).

And these are the exterior PTS options that I am considering right now:

1. Signal Yellow
2. Saffron Yellow (not sure if they will do it or not)
3. Gulf Orange
4. Pastel Orange
5. Birch Green
6. Acid Green
7. Brewster Green
8. Porsche Racing Green

My thinking is that if I go with either of oranges the stitching will be either yellow or orange (not sure), for the light greens I will do green stitching and for the dark greens I will do yellow stitching. I am thinking to keep the seat belts black.

And what do you think of CXX side black decal option. Do they worth it?

Please let me know what do you think. I will appreciate it.
Thanks,

Question. If you do get PTS are you choosing the winner of the poll or actually what you want?

Colors are so subjective. That list of colors is way too long; need to norrow down to only three you like. Only one of those in my top three would be Signal Yellow. But the moment I voted, for some reason chose Gulf Orange.

I know that I want my GT3 to be either a Bold Yellow, Orange or Light Green color. And my current order or preference is Yellow, Light Green, Orange.

My main problem is that I never saw most of these colors and it is really hard to judge them bases on pictures and videos. In one picture they look great and in another one tjey are either too pale or too dark.

Also some colors went through significant changes true time. For example the Summer Yellow uaed to be this very pale very light yellow but this new one on GT3 looks almost like a bit lighter Signal Yellow. One the other hand the current Signal Yellow in the pictures looks more Orange tha ever.

That is the main reason that I opened this poll and topic so the people that saw this color in person can chime in.

You are probably right that I need to narrow the options down. Maybe I change the poll to Just varients of Yellow and Light Green that I am thinking about and hopefully the people that saw these colors can chime in.

Going by your preference. Sounds like a yellow should be your choice...

To be honest right now I am %60 Yellow, %25 Light Green, %14 Orange and kind of %1 Dark metallic green.

The problem is which yellow: Speed Yellow, Signal Yellow, Summer Yellow or Saffron Yellow. Any Thoughts?

Good for you willing to go with a bolder color. Personally, I think a sports car such as a GT3 should be bold. I bet if you look at that list you probably know which color you want. Asking for opinions is ok (I've done it before on color), but at the end of the day it is what 'you' want. My avatar will give you some indication the way I lean, and I think Signal Yellow would be spectacular! Good luck!

I know.
These yellow green porsche colors are the most confusing ones for me. Like how different are the Birch Green (253) , Acid Green ( 2M8) and Linden green (226). It is very hard to pick one over just pictures and videos.

I understand what you are saying.
my problem is that I never saw most of these colors in person. So what I am looking for is really thoughts of the people who saw these.

For example I know I like these light green colors, but I am looking for more insight and details about acid green or birch green. Like one of them looks more yellow under direct sun or one is darker than the other one or has a specific effect.

I am trying to understand these shades yellows, oranges and greens better. Maybe poll was a bad idea for what I am trying to achieve here.

OP , well thanks for this poll , my preference with black wheels as u wish would not be a dark color but some pop with yellow /acid/ orange . anyway this thread
as others poll threads, are entertaining with all the insightful opinions , and educating with color shade/names history and those with IT skill posting cool pics of
be loved cars in different flavors shades and crowd shouts on about dressing in wheel colors /stripes/threads /ac delete and really true junkies with radio delete
for total coolness and the banter goes around , for me i woke in the middle of the night from life's concerns and settle my self checking on some RL banter
and this thread sent me happily back to rest dreaming colors of winged P cars like a little kid , for me at the moment will remain a dream but still a happy one
Thanks Mr. OP and enjoy the game . if you're really lucky some Color Guard Umpires may guide you, keep an eye for the Chairman Edwardo .

Voted for Signal Yellow as it is more orange than other yellows (mango-like) and more yellow than other oranges (Gulf/Pastel which I personally find too saturated for my taste)

Get what you want.
There is nothing on your list I would select.

^ lol

GT3...My production month is April according to my dealer....may be moved up...

Is it the first time you are formally (i.e. in the system) requesting PTS? If so, it would likely be considered a n'ew order' and the PTS stop sale effective till Aug may apply. Check with your SA asap. Most if not all April PTS builds that I know of (incl mine) have locked already.

Like the Doc said. If you didn't have PTS or CXX on your build prior the stop order, you cannot get PTS/CXX now unless the allocation is scheduled for August or later this year (as per PAG). So that's that.

In July, standard colors like Graphite Blue Metallic, Rhodium Silver Metallic, and Sapphire Blue Metallic, will no longer be available. But you can still select them for you April build now, if you want.

Thanks I'll see what can be done........if not GT Silver or Carrera White......metallics seem to show off the curves better.......I like Gemini Blue and Azurro California Blue.........

Congrats on securing an allocation. Guess the question you have to ask yourself "Is there a color that you truly love so much that your willing to pay the extra $13K for it?". If yes, then you should already know that color and should have already seen in person to love it so much. It is extremely difficult to capture true color in a camera and personally i wouldn't take the risk of PTS based on the poll or even with anyone else's opinion. Last thing you want is to have your GT3 come out with a color shade you didn't expect. I was in the same boat as you and opted to go with one of the standard color that i truly love in person. Good luck!
