On Platinum it's very evident when looking at it.

GT Silver is like a chameleon color. Changes a lot under different lighting conditions.

Agree. That is a perfect description.

Rhodium is a new version of Polar. I like it.

To me GT silver is a classic. Gorgeous.

(I've had to many silver cars - need more color personally)

I like my platinum silver C4S but when it's next to other silver cars it looks like it's brown.

Yes, I have both Polar in a 993 and Rhodium in a 991. The colors are extremely close.

I like platinum silver. Very classy. Rhodium is the closest thing to a "regular" silver

GT to me is the purest silver porsche offers, but still has a richness that some other german makers' silvers lack. rhodium is almost as good as polar.

Choosing among Porsche silvers is like choosing among three beautiful women with the same hair color (choose your favorite color). One can't go wrong.

All great colors. At one point or another I liked each of them best. Pulled the trigger on GT Silver but I love seeing any of the other silver 911s in the wild.

The white balance is pretty far off-kilter in that picture; this version's a bit closer to reality.




Even after tweaking the pic, I'd say that platinum is a bit browner than what's shown here, while rhodium is a bit bluer, and agate is a little lighter. I'm not that familiar with GT Silver so can't say how close it is.

You are correct.

I'd say the actual car pics I posted in the beginning are pretty accurate. This swatch pic isn't a good picture or representation.

The GT Silver in the swatch looks darker than reality.

Just gave my platinum silver car a good scrub down today and I'm aways surprised how well it hides road grime. Before washing I was like I really don't need to wash.... but after the last drop of water was dried off I'm like WOW this thing looks great

That is definitely not GT Silver! Not even close. Have to agree with STG
