I was told that for Porsche to do PTS colors on WP cars, they had to additional impact and physical testing.

NTSB required crash/impact testing does not and would not be altered by changing the color of the paint. Simply not possible.

I am a bit partial to the more vibrant greens, like my Viper Green 991.2 6MT GT3. Already posted above, but redundancy can be fun I suppose:

May be interesting to also compare Oslo to Neptune Blue which is new for the Taycan.

Here's my 991.1 GT3 in PTS Ice Blue - I think it was posted on this site a few years ago, and I purchased from a fellow RL'er! It's the only 991.1 built in this color in North America according to PCNA. I think there is one 991.2 GT3 in this color. I think the new 992 PTS color - Azzuro Thetys Metallic - looks very similar to Ice Blue.
