That Gemini car is, IMO, by far the best looking RS to date

I have to come clean here. Nogaro was my request and I've been keeping quiet about it. I am a Nogaro fanatic and sent Porsche my Nogaro fuel cap from my B5 S4 for a feasibility study for 991 and 718 chassis. I was hoping to keep it secret until my car got built, but it looks like the cat is out of the bag in terms of the color now being approved.

I was originally trying to put it on a GT4, but now I'm doing it on a 991.2 C2S. I can't wait!!

It is technically a pearl paint. The metallic flakes are so small that they you can't see them unless you get very close in direct sunlight.

That being said, it's a very fine particle and may even be more of a mica than a metallic. The color tends to look nonmetallic unless you're really close or in certain lighting.
Sound like you know the color well! Porsche mis-labeled it Nogaro Blue Metallic, when it should have been Nogaro Blue Pearl Effect. To be clear though, it's a naming glitch, the paint is going to be correct in application.

I'll thank you now for saving me the trouble of having to have a panel shot and finished in Nogaro for a feasibility study. Nogaro is first on my list for the 991.2 RS, with Glebgrun running a close second. I've always been a blue car guy, though... which makes me wonder how I ended up with three black cars in my garage.

You are most welcome! I would love to see it on an RS. I just can't get the courage to spend that kinda of money on a car, so my C2S will have to do.

Color is such a personal thing. Gelbgrun is pretty great looking too. Keep us posted on what you decide!

Very nice, both of them. I marginally prefer the blue one of the two.

Oct 29th they were received and approval was received on Mar 29th. So pretty much exactly 5 months.

That's the motortrend car they crashed while testing.
Maybe it was Randy Pobst and maybe that's why he has a hair up his *** about his inexplicable comments that the RS is hard to handle..

Could someone tell me the difference between viper green and the signal greens that was on the 2007 and 08's? Ive seen signal in person and in this picture they look identical to me.
