Here is a "Golf blue" (W91) RS that just arrived to my local dealer. The interesting thing about this car is that the client ordered "Gulf blue", but just a couple of weeks ago the SA was informed that the car was painted "Golf blue". He is not sure of where along the line was the mistake made.
Unbelievable. PTS should add a color chip confirmation to every order, just a pdf. My guess is these mistakes start at the dealership level. It always worth confirming the build with Exclusive. Trust but verify.
Golf Blue looks really nice. I'd take it over Gulf myself.
Not to worry. That feeling def seems to be common but in most cases seems to disappear when people see their cars in person. RS Green is a solid choice I might add!
Thanks. Too many choices sometimes isn't a good thing. I'm sure I'll love it when I finally get to see it.
viper green definitely looks like a darker more traditional straight up "green". signal, RS, pure green all look identical to me. obviously they aren't. but I really think you would have to have all three of those side by side to see the difference. they all just look identical to me as bright greens. RS a little more blue in it, signal a bit more white/cream in it, but just so impossibly close...

He is not sure of where along the line was the mistake made. I don't know who the client is, nor if he or she will do anything about this mistake, but I found it curious that Golf blue was delivered without any lengthy feasibility study (please correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that "Golf blue" is not one of the pre-approved PTS colors, like Gulf, Voodoo, Maritime, or Riviera). Also note that the rear badge was deleted, even though "model designation delete" was never ordered by the client. The window sticker does NOT mention "model designation delete". Any thoughts how this could happen?
I predict more Golf Blue cars in the near future, it looks like a darker and muted Voodoo here. For a color that could be called conservative it's surprisingly sporty, racy on an RS. It's going to be a rare car, a lucky unlucky owner.
A opportunistic dealer would offer him $50K for the error and the 'next' RS.

Very strange, I had something similar happen, where I didn't order the red stitching for my steering wheel on the gt3 but my car came with it anyways, wasn't on the window sticker, and didn't have to pay extra for it, so I was happy! I would not be able to say the same if the car came with the model designation delete option!
While we're on the topic of blue, this just emerged from Vienna. Cross checked it with the approved PTS colors, but still no idea what this is. Any ideas? EDIT: This is UV, not a PTS color.

I'm hearing that this is in fact UV, not a PTS color. My eyes must be deceiving me.
