Polar ( think icy blue North Pole ) was std silver for several yrs , 10-15 yrs ago, so many were made - buyers complained it was too bluish , but less than current Rhodium

cant really go wrong with silver, probably the one color that does not date a car over time

These are great posts which are much appreciated.
OK, so I've now opened up to the idea that Arena, although beautiful, is "just another shade of red". What would you guys think about my second and third choices, Brewster Green and Aetna Blue? I was thinking about one of these combos:
1. Brewster Green with a Black top, and Cognac/Espresso interior.
2. Brewster Green with a Black top, and Black interior.
3. Aetna Blue with a Black top, and Black interior.
I would either go with the interior trim in CF or the external color (if possible).

as some of us here are saying , if you are gonna invest the money and TIME ( and like the color green ) get something that every man, woman and child sees as " kustom "...like this configuration ( which Brett at Sonnen has ordered two of ) :

many will argue that the 993's basket handle third brake light ruined the classic silhouette ...now look at some of the younger OCD members here bothered by the 2 inch square sat radio antenna on the 997 and 991's back,lol!

that was enough though and up there with the short and long goose neck ones on the late 80s cabs on the Porsche lazy engineering "hall of shame " !
the looks of the base 993 never resonated with me..always had a problem with the overly smoothed out 959 inspired sniffly front clip that didn't flow well with the more blocky looking rear
the 993 Turbo model with its iconic " melted " rear wing and winged NA wide body versions are great looking , though, since their aggressive air dammed fronts balance the rear perfectly and are still very modern looking
I think the 1976 930 and the last 993 Turbo will be the most highly sought after " regular production " Turbos in the future

I know the brown isn't for everyone. The top blends so well with the interior that if you keep that inside I would encourage the brown top and compliment or contrast with the body color.
Just food fro thought.

PTS 'British Racing Green'
Brewster is a wonderful Porsche nut " insider's " color - as seen on the special 2012 991 " 60 Club Coupe" ...but to eveyone else , it is "dark non -metallic green "
as some of us here are saying , if you are gonna invest the money and TIME ( and like the color green ) get something that every man, woman and child sees as " kustom "...like this configuration ( which Brett at Sonnen has ordered two of ) :

To clarify, we are now talking 'British Racing Green', not 'Brewster Green'.
