Default What color is your next 911?

I have Agate Macan and GT silver 911 as Porsche colors and thinking of the next one. Graphite Blue which different but classy and not too bold.

AFAIK, graphite blue has been discontinued, so you'd have to find a used car.

I have an agate GTS, and a chalk GT3 incoming. I would love to do a PTS green next if I get the opportunity. Oak green metallic is very high on my list, but there are other amazing greens as well. I'd like to have an arena red car at some point as well.

If I get a GT3 RS allocation I'll most likely do lizard green on that.

Graphite blue is an underrated color IMO. Looks fantastic in any light.

It depends on the car, though. Some cars don't suit it, IMHO. I saw it on a Turbo S and a regular Carrera S at the dealer, and I didn't care for it at all. It just looked flat and lifeless. But I like it on a Boxster, or a GT3. I think it needs some black details for contrast.

I'm sure Porsche would make it a PTS if they are going to discontinue it. Irish and Racing green are nice too.

I'm gunning for Etna (Aetna) Blue. I saw a 356 in that color this weekend but with my Maui Jim's on I couldn't get a good color representation on it. My wife did.

Oddly, I have a GT sliver 991 and an agate Macan also. You have good taste.

I just did....Guards Red.

In Germany (or any place else other than the US AFAIK) it’s called Indish Rot; or Indian Red. Our PC society doesn’t like that however, whatever.
