Default GT vs Rhodium Silver, which did you choose and why?

I'm curious to get your opinions on GT vs Rhodium Silver and why you picked one over the other?

I went with GT silver because I liked the darker silver and didn't like the blue hue in Rhodium silver. To each his own.

I always like the Polar Silver on the 993's. I quite like the hint of blue in it and beside it being my preference., I would never pay the upcharge for GT silver but I can see why one would.

I had the Rhodium on my 2014 C2S. Loved it! Very cool color. Just enough hue to make it look unique but not really "blue". Gave it a really nice glow. Would definitely pick it over a GT Silver on the Turbo. Shows the lines much better. Have seen both in person at my dealer. No contest but I know it is a subjective thing.

I concur. Also, to me the Rhodium was so light that it felt a little flat, while the GT's darker tone seemed richer, and was better able to take advantage of the metallic effect by contrasting the darker paint against the lighter flakes.

Reviving an old thread to see if there are any new comments, thoughts or observations on Rhodium Vs GT Silver.

991.2 TT/S configurator include these colours without an up-charge.

ColdList, (not to hijack the thread), looks like I just took Euro delivery of your sister car (Miami Blue TTS). Even though the color is a bit louder than what I am used to, every hotel I stayed at in Europe had a swarm of people coming to take pics next to the car because they felt the color was different from most P-cars they see there.
