Eduardo, sorry for asking, but you know you're the man. Do you have any pics of Atakama Yellow, code # Y30

Reminds me of a slightly lighter version of Signal Yellow:

Yes, that was Joe Sackey, collector & automotive book author.



Note that just because a PTS color was approved for a 997 or any Porsche car before, PAG requires a new feasibility study on each new model. So 'Meissen Blau' has to be tested on the 991/981...and so does 'Lind Green / Chartreuse', which was done for a very special 4.0 Limited Edition that belongs to a fellow R Gruppe in NY! Both of those colors are beautiful...but 'Chartreuse', code 226, is simply stunning!

Just to provide additional info on USA allocations/orders...

Yesterday was offered GT3RS MY2016 (Sep '15 build, Oct '15 delivery), from dealer with 4 secured allocations. One allocation a PCNA dealership allocation, the other 3 by virtue of GT3 Cup racing efforts/involvement. A configuration, as well as additional deposit, requested. This dealership had no 918 sales.

My config:
GT Silver Metallic
+standard interior w Alcantera
+full bucket seats
+front axle lift
+ext fuel tank
(no PCCB)

Delivery late fall means storage until April 2016 in eastern Pennsylvania ... same situation as with my '14 GT3.

It's too bad from the PTS list that there is no way to know what some of the colors look like unless they have been photographed and documented on a Porsche. Even colors of the same name may have a different appearance depending on the auto manufacturer.
