Default Lava Orange in real life?

Does it look more like this (from a dealer pic).







Or this, from a video still....

Neither but closer to the top one.

IT IS NOT Orange in my book. If it is orange I would call it a faded dull orange. I saw the second one yesterday and not impressed. Have yet to see the purple.

neither. if you have a frozen filet of salmon in your fridge, that's a more accurate representation of LO. Trust me, I've seen them in real life.

Here's mine in a few different lights for what it's worth.

The second picture has the white German license plate, so you can do a rough re-adjustment of the white balance. The white balance is very tricky when large amounts of red are in a picture and a camera has been used with automatic white balance.

If you do that it come out in a pretty obvious Guards Red.

I think ibmiked's 2nd pic is the closest. It's a great color in real life.

It's a tough color to photograph right, but it's definitely orange and not red.

Thanks for the personal pic ibmiked... it certainly looks more like pastal/gulf orange than on the configurator where it's closer to guard's red

I special ordered them and had them installed prior to delivery. They are factory silver GT4 wheels. You'll need OEM Porsche spacers, but the offset was surprisingly close to perfect.

Coolest answer yet! How did you learn all that?
