Folks, do you know this GT3 or the owner? Looks like Belgium.

I have been trying for a while to definitely verify which green we are looking at here.

Posting the original picture I saved and one picture where I did some color correction (based on the license plate as a reference).

The license plate could have been photoshopped to disguise it.
We have seen that car with Slovakian Plates in the same parking
spot in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium.

The color is reported to be 'British Racing Green'.

Nice. Really works on the RS.

If I can finagle a PTS .2 RS allocation, I'm going with British Racing Green.

Cool color. My dad had a Jaguar XKE in BRG when I was a kid.

I believe Z54 was originally on the Porsche 356A models.

Edit: Well I was right I guess. Eduardo's post:

'Meissen Blue' was a late 356A color for 1957/1959. It was
wildly popular at the time. And it's seen quite often on these
period 356's to the present.

"Milk in the fridge" reminds me of an old joke/question:

Which is better to have, milk in the refrigerator or a cow in the kitchen?

No right or wrong answer and definitely no offense meant...

Here's my humble RY contribution and apologies in advance for it not being a GT3, just a lousy GTS.

The cars and colors in this thread have me salivating, more pics please!!
