in shade it is the orangy color of the door panel in the first pic of this thread .....in bright sunshine it changes to a flatter salmon hue , like the frunk lid in this same pic :
Wow, that really looks like Guards Red in your picture.
Would be amazing to see Lava Orange/Guards Red/Carmine red together in one picture under the same lighting conditions.
Here's part of that comparison:
In the above picture I do like the orange, but I do wonder how it would come to life in less sunshine.
In the sunny picture above LO seems to go well with the elegant shapes of a Carrera to my eye.
I have seen all three at the same time (lava, guards and carmine). My choice, in order would be:
#1. Carmine
#2. Carmine
#3. Carmine
The lava didn't look as good to me as I had hoped it would. And I've never been a fan of Guards. But I'm not really a red/orange car fan, so I don't get a vote.
I like the color but looks more salmon in real life.
I wouldn't recommend you order it without seeing it in person.
+1 you really need to see it in person, the color changes depending upon lighting and "color temp" ... I think its fair to say that most photo depict
it much more red/orange than it appears ...
I looked at a Lava Orange 991 at the Fresno Porsche Dealer . . . it is definitely a color someone should see in person before ordering. Sure seemed like salmon to me.
It is still in inventory after several months . . . https://fresno.porschedealer.com/new...24121/info.php
