Default What's your favorite 911 paint colors?

911's come in some pretty standard colors: Black, White, Silver ....

But, they also come in some really unique colors, including paint to sample ...

Here are some of my favorite colors. What are yours? Add a photo if you have one. I am looking for a 2017 Carrera or Carrera S in something different than the usual colors. Special cars deserve special colors. I would love to see your favorite colors, perhaps I'll add it to my list of desirable colors for my 911 hunt :-)

Miami Blue
Night Blue Metallic
Graphite Blue

Photos are in the same order as the 3 colors that are listed above.

That is a unique color. Very cool. I had not seen that one before. Thanks for sharing!

I love my black C2, but it’s soooo hard to keep looking clean. Graphite Blue is looking like one of the top choices for my next one, but I’ve never had the opportunity to see one in real life, only in pictures.

Just pulled up your reply on my work laptop, really looks washed out. It is pretty bright, does change a bit depending on weather, hides dirt pretty well, becomes a little darker. Curious on how viper looks next to python one day!
Also a sucker for Miami!

There are several PTS colours that I find absolutely gorgeous. I'd have a hard time choosing!

Viola metallic:



Navy blue:

I also have a bias for Sapphire Blue.

But Olive Green and Oak Green ties for second place. Saw those colors on a GT3 Touring and couldn’t keep my eyes away.

A pristine 911 in black is gorgeous.

But, I owned a black car once here in Texas. Beyond the obvious sun induced interior furnace, it very easily showed swirls in the clear coat, scratches and I swear anything larger than Covid-19 virus particles would show up instantly after I washed the car.

Glad you are enjoying your black c2, but I am going to leave black cars in my rear view mirror 🖤😬
