Default lava orange vs Miami blue

Trading my 991.1 GTS in agate grey and ordering 991.2 TTS. Trouble started with choosing between two great colors, the lava orange and Miami blue. The blue seems to have a great tradition in PTS colors, but I am still sitting on the fence. Need to be pushed one way or another, feel free to express your thoughts.

if it helps, Miami and Mexico are similar. This weekend I went to the Mclaren dealership to look and I had people taking pics of my car...... when Mclarens, Lambo's, and other ultra exotics were right there.
The blues are rare and people love to look at them.
I vote blue!

I've heard a bunch of positive comments from female friends and my wife about the Miami blue colored 911 S that is in the neighborhood.

When women talk positively about cars that I also appreciate, I listen for future opportunities.

Pretty sure they wouldnt be nearly as much into Lava Orange, which I think of as either a Lamborghini color or as a great color for the track. (Just my opinion.)

I find Lava Orange sort of salmon under some lighting - not suiting the car. You will never be sorry you opted for a beautiful (sporty) blue....

Do you really want to be the other blue car in the neighborhood ? I'd go with the Lava Orange just to be different

IMHO the LO fits more a wild car like the GT3 RS than a grand car like a turbo.

Great! Good decision imho, I was originally going to order Lava Rs, saw it in the metal and was very disapppointed. Got PTS and ordered Miami Blue. THe colour is great, changes in different lights. I'm sure you will be very pleased. Let me know if you want some pics of the RS..

Not sure what that means, but Miami Blue surely beats Lava Orange (as does almost every other color imo.... not a big salmon fan). And you'll thank yourself on resale. I can't imagine there are many buyers for a LO TT/TTS.

Lava Orange is a big missed opportunity, IMO. Not a great orange...too much pink in it.

Saw a new 991.2 C4S in Miami Blue today.... Wow! Absolutely stunning, especially with the 20" Spyder wheels.
