Indeed some owners of Limited Edition models with unique colors are protected by Porsche AG! That was the case of the 'Sport Classic Grey' of the MY2010 '911 Sport Classic' and the 'Pure Blue' of the MY2012 'Speedster'. You can NOT order these two colors via PTS...they are reserved for these two LE models!
'Brewster Green', on the other hand, was used on the '911 Club Coupes' (only 13 of these 991 coupes were built) yet the color was not 'proprietary' to that rare Limited Edition! Anyone can order 'Brewster Green' via PTS! There is no logic...other than that is the way they did it!
Right on, cy456! Sage advice.

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).

I think that Brewster is my favorite PTS, but have now ruled it out. It's too dark for a summer-only cab (better on the coupe as others have said). I'm down to PTS Aetna Blue and Arena Red. I could swap in Mexico or Ice Blue for Aetna, and as a nod to LexVan, I am considering GT Silver with a Garnett/Black interior. So maybe my short-list hasn't shortened so much after all . . .
I may not seem so, but the responses to this thread have been incredibly helpful for me to think the decision through.

Of those, I like Aetna the best. And I had an Arena '98 C2S, which I loved. Mexico is certainly the most eye-catching IMO, if that's what you are after. Good call on nixing Brewster - one less to worry about seeing coming the other way, lol!

'Pascha Red' is a historic 356 Pre-A color. In fact, Hans Peter Porsche's Gmund which was shown at Pebble a few years ago looked to me to be similar to 'Pascha Red' and that was an Austria-build Gmund! The official color for that Gmund 356-2 045, however, is just 'red' and might be slightly lighter in shade than 'Pascha'. Normally, the colors that PAG reserves & protects for some of its 'Limited Editions' are newly formulated rather than 'Historic' (e.g. 'Pure Blue' and 'Sport Classic Grey'). Its part of the marketing of the model (the exclusive color) and so it's not available to others for copying.
Anything can happen. But I doubt it with regards the colors 'Pure Blue' and/or 'Sport Classic Grey'. I don't think these ever will make the PTS list. However, you can get pretty darn close to 'Sport Classic Grey' with other PTS colors (e.g 'ModeGrau/Fashion Grey', 'Stone Grey') available presently via 'Porsche Exclusive'. And PTS currently has approved some incredibly deep & beautiful 'blues' (e.g. 'Voodoo', 'Riviera', 'Mexico', 'Francia', 'Maritime') which lessens the pain of being denied the MY2012 Speedster's 'Pure Blue'!

I have seen a couple of historical comments on this forum,
like the one above, about the protected nature of Pure Blue
so I am wondering what the status of this colour exclusion
might be because I have seen a blue 2016 GTS with the
colour M5B Pure Blue on the build sheet that I am very,
very interested in. I think there might be some future value
here. It was a very late 2015 build so is this possibly quite
a rare bird?

from readers or members that PAG has allowed a previously exclusive
color like 'Sport Classic Grey' to be ordered via PTS.

So it would not surprise me if 'Pure Blue' has been allowed to be
ordered too. Please keep us posted on this 'Pure Blue' after you
decide what to do - buy it or not, etc.

IMO he should buy it regardless 
and not for the future investment potential either
