Midnight blue / lapis blue and either silver or dark silver wheels. You will have the cake and eat it too (your want for a black color). Not many gt3 rs with it. Brewester green is a cool one too.

Personally, I'd go for something far off the beaten path, especially since this will be one of very few PTS 3RSs....
+1, colors focused on are common, nobody has even suggested finding a one-of-one color, like meissen blue.

Will this WP, magnesium wheels and PTS be the first 300K 3RS. Add a few ccx options and you are there. Hope it's a keeper

You can't go wrong with either riviera or gulf blue.

Non metallic slate grey, ruby star, jade green, mint green, viper green, signal yellow, mexico blue, maritime blue. IMO the "skittle" colors look best on Porsche GT cars. I wouldn't get the WP. I would also get the deviated stitching option to further compliment the color.

Darker colours are where I am leaning.

I got it because I am a very good loyal customer. Build locks Monday and yes 100%

I don’t believe metallic slate is available on the 991, only non metallic

Greys boring and hard to tell apart from one another and from available standard colors, IMO. Not worth it.

Voodoo blue too common.

If you prefer something dark (you said you like black...), are leaning toward blues, and want something both historic and inoffensive to future buyers, perhaps Albert Blue. Lighter than Meerblau, Dark Blue Metallic or Night Blue, much darker and more navy than Voodoo, Club Blau, etc.

here is a Touring in the color. Otherwise most examples you’ll find are historic cars.

The other blues I’d vote for are Oslo with silver wheels, if you like something lighter but not too saturated, or Maritime, if you like another classic blue that’s more saturated and which does tend toward violet.

Baltic blue, code 37B, is a very nice blue. The perception will vary with the light, so it could be either light or dark.
I also think that it is really unusual.
I loved my former 928CS in this color
Silver rims, please.

Just be mindful anything can change until you have the keys in your hand. My 3 RS was PTS approved in Oslo Blue over Congac leather (including an UDB ID issued by PAG) until they changed their mind after the lock date for PTS/CXX. I had to get the build slot moved etc for the initial approval, so was a bit of an ordeal! I would go into this expecting the worst.

My GT2 RS still came PTS, but the 3 RS ended up being Lizard with black/brown interior rather than going a full CXX switch on a non-PTS car.

That said, hard to beat Oslo Blue if you want to keep it more subtle. Any of the original 73 RS colors make great choices if you want to keep it heritage, some of my favs are Viper Green, Jade Green, Signal Yellow, Chartreuse, Irish Green. You can easily find the list online.
