Just to add a data point, my car is Agate Grey and I'd say it's much closer to the uncorrected pic in real life. Any automatic white balance adjustments are just guessing unless there's some sort of reference like a 50% gray card.

I have a Rhodium Silver C2S... it really depends on the lighting, sometimes it has a blue tint, sometimes it doesn't at all.

Those are two excellent photos to show the changeability of rhodium silver.

I also have a rhodium silver 911S, and I concur.

If it means anything, Rhodium Silver was discontinued after two model years. Platinum Silver endured over many model years and was one of the launch colors for the 991 introduction ad campaign , along with GT Silver.

I think you might have it backwards. Rhodium Silver is still available.

My car is Rhodium silver and I really like it. Yes, it has a slight bluish tint, which works well with the yachting blue interior. It would probably work well with the newer blue interior as well.

Platinum silver looks quite bronzy/ beigy in morning or late afternoon light ....giving it a side benefit of hiding dust( tan-colored ) and pollen ( light yellow-colored ) pretty much completely even weeks after a wash .
Compare its warm tone to the std silver colored wheels :

No, you have it backwards. Rhodium silver is discontinued and no longer on the Carerra configuration. Was active for only two years. Platinum silver was discontinued in 2014 after about eight years of activity.

When I was ordering my 2016 GTS, Rhodium Silver was an option but I elected to get GT Silver. I just went to Porsche's website to build a new 2016 GTS and Rhodium silver was still listed as an option: Rhodium Silver Metallic-$710.

Welcome to Porsche silver roulette.

Spin the wheel annually for a variation in hue and cost.

Even the ageless GT managed to go from very special to merely special this year.

I have had several. Platinum is the best and my favorite because that's what I now have.

Rhodium Silver is available on the current 991.2 configurator. Platinum Silver is not.

Not when I go to the Porsche USA Build Your Own site.

Rhodium Silver is definitely available for the New 911 Carrera and 911S, as is GT Silver. Both $710 options.
