I pulled up to the dealer this afternoon and was struck by these two sitting out front. The photo shows the direction of the difference but not quite the degree -- in real life the Rhodium was slightly more blue, the GT slightly more brown, and the difference a little more pronounced. But this gives a good idea anyway.
If mine ever gets here it will be my second GT Silver -- I'm biased. I like Rhodium very much in a vacuum, but when they're side by side my taste runs to the richer, warmer GT. But I can sure understand how a person would buy a Rhodium GTS! That is a striking car sitting there.
Are you sure its GT Silver? The base Carrera looks Platinum silver to me.
LOL, you could be right -- I didn't check, just asked a salesman and he said it was GT. The GTS was definitely Rhodium as I looked at the sticker to confirm.
If consensus is that it's not GT S, I'll take my whipping like a man. But in person, having owned a GT Silver car, I sure thought it was. But it's been two years since I sold mine; maybe my mind is playing tricks.

That is no GT Silver. I bet my GTS in GT Silver on it
Platinum is not available after 2013 unles PTS. Rhodium is a pretty color but I don't think it is represented here. I'm Guessing that base 991 is a '13! I will add that I like my car a lot, but silver is the most common color of all cars in the USA. I wish I had picked a blue, red, or even white 991. That almost sounds American!
Here is a pic of a couple of GTS's - GT Silver and a Rhodium Silver, that my dealer sent to me when I was trying decide which color. Obviously, I picked GT Silver
The "Classic Silver" offered on the Cayenne and not sure what other models is nice. More a standard silver without anything weird in it, but attractive.
Rhodium is too blue. A trendy color that won't last. Not a fan.
GT Silver - a classic and will grace Porsche's for a long time.
Rhodium Silver (RS) is a really unique color. When I shopped for my 991, I considered RS. When I went to the dealer to order my new car, they had a RS colored 991 parked outside. It was a very sunny day, and I thought the RS faded, and looked washed out. I was very disappointed in the color when seen under direct sunlight.
Looking at the color today, I almost regret not sticking with my first color choice. I now love RS. It changes colors based on the lighting conditions. I like the blue in RS. That 991 in the above pic looks great with black rims and black lights!
Doesn't Polar Silver also have a blue hue to it?
I have to disagree. I concurrently owned an arctic turbo and a GT silver Boxster. I loved to park them together and get opinions from people. 100% of the response across the line over the years was pro GT silver.
But I will agree that Arctic as a free, basic color makes a good choice. It really is just pure silver seeming, and doesn't seem to lean to either side of the blue brown spectrum.
