Have been following this thread for a while.
My GT3 is finally finished and is somewhere in transit.
I went on a factory tour at Porsche two weeks ago, timed with the day my GT3 should be finished at the factory, so hoped to see it on the assembly line.
And just after having turned my phone off while waiting at the security gate, an Agate grey GT3 with yellow calipers and cage, covered in plastic and other protective bits, stopped right in front of security.
The pole went up, the car drove past me just 3 meters away and went off between the factory and the dealership, towards the autobahn.
Then I was picked up and while waiting for the guide, the same car came back through the back entrance and disappeared towards the assembly line buildings.
From the color statistics you have here I believe this was my car, as there probably aren't too many Agate GT3's around.
Can you imagine my frustration of not having my phone at those two times.
A few non scientific observations on color.
I saw:
1 Black
1 Guards red
1 Yellow
1 Silver
1 Brown
1 Metallic red
1 Agate - mine :-)
9 white
2 white GT3 Cup
I was actually thinking of the brown but it was too hard to imagine from the sample, but the brown one was at the dealership awaiting a lucky customer, to me it looked sensational.
Funnily, I might have a photo of my car after all, this was posted on Facebook yesterday by a car magazine, having spotted this truck on it's way north, and since my car has been shipped, I choose to believe it is mine.

Congrats on the find brotha!! The color looks sick based on those pics and good luck with the wait time now that it is in transit. That was probably the hardest part of the wait for me

My car is in transit on the "Camellia Ace". According to Marinetraffic.com, it may arrive in Houston as early as 02/04/14, after stopping in Halifax, NS, Davisville, RI, and Brunswick, GA first. My dealer also thinks it should show up at the dealership within a couple of days after hitting the Port of Houston, as opposed to a week later as shown in Porsche's schedule.

I saw it on a 991 in the dealers showroom. To me, it's not a very strong red and is a color that would work OK on a Cab or Targa, but not a GT3. You can Google pics of Porsches in Amaranth, but I don't think you will find many GT3's chosen in that color.
