^Will, let me know if you're in BC and still haven't seen modegrau. You're welcome to stop by anytime.
BTW I like your style!! Irish green would be a colour I'd do on a 911R too.

^GT3RS-Fan1:
Oh, and one other option: red. Exclusive has done a red marker stripe in red leather before.
This would be dead easy to match to the standard red R stripes.
If you're still thinking Acid is better (if you don't like red), then the above photo also shows another neat Exclusive option: two-tone stitching. You could probably request acid green plus platinum (a reasonable match to GT silver). Recall this was also an option on the GTS Club Coupe.
Now, why don't they offer THAT blue for interior stitching???!!!!

I've admittedly pondered about this for more than I should have. Too many come into mind, and some colors that work for one car are not the best for others. Could dream about this for days.
For a non-GT car, with my favorite being the RWD GTS, I would spec mine in PTS Irish Green, with GT3 wheels in Silver and PCCBs (like the R's setup). I would also request CXX side decals with Porsche script to look like this recently restored '71 911T RS-look.
I realized later that the said ideal build is pretty much that of the PTS British Racing Green R that Porsche built to test the feasibility of CXX stripes/decals. The one that everyone claimed (including me at one point) was AP's personal car.

Now for a GT car, I still struggle to pick just one. Fashion Grey is one of my favorites as it looks stunning in pictures. I feel like it would be either much better or maybe not as good in person. I haven't lucked out yet on seeing one in person.
Aqua Blue is also up there, and it has to be with Silver wheels and PCCBs. Like the one from Brumos Porsche.
And just for the RS, I would say Miami Blue (not PTS but) has consistently looked good. With a strong emphasis on just for the RS.

Just thinking about all this is quite the joy. Hopefully having the opportunity to build one out for real isn't in the too distant future. Thanks for the question.

And here's the last of the special colours: LO. Delivered to Leusden in the Netherlands (where orange is quite the popular colour) reportedly. Another great looking car! (photos from instagram)

The special colours were black, lava orange, and racing yellow. Kind of like how on the RS, if you were granted PTS and could choose to switch to the otherwise unavailable black, miami blue, and racing yellow. Only for the R, PTS was only allocated to 50 customers, and you did not (necessarily) have to turn down a PTS spot to get one of these 3 special colours. Also no one knows how restricted these special colours on the R have been, but what is known is that not all customers who requested them got them.

sorry, iMO i don´t like the black one with the red stripes and yellow brakes, this is to much colour-confusion..( but the plate is cool ! ) love the lo one with silver wheels !!! maybe with the stripes in black on the side it would look a litte bit more " R"...

Orange looks really nice on the R.

Maybe something like this? If you want my unsolicited opinion, you could skip the roof stripes in "Acid green" since that might be a little bit much in such a vibrant colour. BTW, were you intending to leave the seat belts and door pulls silver? And it might not hurt to ask if they'd do CXX calipers in Acid green...
