If my dealer came back to me with the PTS option I'd go Maritime Blue instantly. The great thing about Maritime in the flesh is that it looks rich and milky if that is an accurate description. No metallic in it whatsoever...
My other choice would be on of these on the palet:
I'm seeing these blues on an iPad Pro w/an accurate display and Miami and Riviera look OFF. Miami has more green in it and am not seeing it here. The samples at the dealership do a better job of conveying hue.
My build is somewhere from October to December as I asked to put a '18 plate on the car.
After many changes I finally had a racing yellow build clear in my mind as it seemed there was no PTS window opening.
I was very happy with that no charge bright colour !
Yesterday I've been offered PTS but not sure it's worth the cost: they told me 6000 euro + VAT which seems a bit too much for a paint not adding speed to the car...
Anyway...if I do it I'll go with something "in your face" as birch green or "vintage and hot" like signal yellow.
Also would like a BRG of Brewster green, very classy and unusual on a Porsche, but too dark and delicate to keep glossy without swirls.
I'd love continental orange too but I saw the last list and it's still not approved.
Started reading PTS topics about two years ago and I was sure I would have gone Riviera at the first chance...but now I saw so many RB cars on the Internet that it seems to have already had a couple!
Also a possibility for Olympic Blue on my car...it should be a half tone between Riviera and Gulf. But it was a 914 colour so maybe better on a mid engine car in my strange mind : )
What's the price of PTS in Australia compared for example to that of a "special" paint like Lava or Miami or a metallic one?
Hi there,
Special colour is $7900 and PTS is $15800. Every thing here is triple what you pay in Europe sadly
Congrats! I am hoping to get a PTS 991.2 GT3 allocation as well. My SA think he can get me one (in Los Angeles) but I am not sure it will include PTS. If I do get PTS, Gulf blue and Olympic blue would be 1 and 1A on my list. Good luck with your decision - what a great difficult decision to have!
What's the point of getting PTS color same or similar to a regular color?...
Riviera now too similar to Miami Blue. Meerblau (Dark Sea Blue) too similar to Dark Blue Metallic. Aqua Blue too similar to Sapphire Blue Metallic. Slate Grey (both of them) too similar to Agate. Arena Red too similar to Guards and Carmine.
You have great taste. Those are two of my favorites, both a bit different and neither very popular like other PTS blues. Had a Meissen Blue 997 TT and thought it was one of the prettiest cars I have ever seen, especially with black Sport Classic wheels. A well-known collector in CA now owns it.

Sounds fantastic, I LOVE black wheels on blue cars.
I wonder if Meissen Blue has been approved for the 991 GT range? I've seen a few Gulf Blue examples but can't seem to find one in Meissen.

Do something different.
Having owned an Arena red GT3, I can confidently say it looks nothing like guards/carmine. Nicest thing about Arena red, changed colors depending on the lighting.

Thank you Lapis
Could you recommend a colour please ? what do you think of Voodoo blue ?
So PTS is exactly twice the price of a special clour in Australia as in Italy...and it will be the same worldwide at this point.
Does anybody have pics of Olympic Blue on new cars?
The vintage pics of the Olympic 914s are too old to understand and the in the few pics I found of a GT4 and a 911R they seem different colours.
It could be a great choice, more vibrant and warm than Gulf, much less seen than Riviera, better for resale and less tiring than Birch (that is actually my first choice).
If I get a PTS window, definitely would take it. Still not sure what colour though. Blues, greens, yellows will all be great, hell any colour is great.
