As mentioned earlier, we can't help but notice that one of the initial reactions to the color of our 991 Turbo S is to compare it to the Grey Black of the 997.2 GT3 RS.
After all, when viewed separately, these colors do seem very similar at first glance.
However, when placed side by side, the differences begin to reveal themselves.
Grey Black tends to have a bluer hue, even purple in some lights, and actually contains a minute amount of metallic flake to the finish.
Meanwhile, Slate Gray is non-metallic, and takes on a greenish tint in most lights.
And... we like ours more. Which is, of course, the most important differentiator of all.

Really beautiful color. I think if I order a TTS this is the color. Love the McQueen heritage.
So what us in fact the PTS color code? It's Slate Gray right?

Zack, what do you guys do with your project cars once you are done modding them?

I love the grays. Now I am confused..Agate vs. Grey black vs. Slate gray. I am thinking Grey Black.>>.
Lucky post as I get ready to build my TTS...
I had a state grey TT, loved the green hue.
