No. But I especially like yellow in Targas. I did own a yellow car - for a long time - and it did not become tedious to me. Horses for courses.

I had 3 black cars in a row and am done - for life - w/ black. And when one goes into a P-car dealer there's inevitably a surfeit of black/silver/white in CPO. Different can be refreshing.

Yellow is my favorite color, or variant thereof! I would never own a yellow car, because they just yell out in traffic "Please Pull me Over". It is too much of an eye catcher for me to put on a sports car. Though I would not care about resale values and such. If the car was old and came from the factory Yellow I would keep it yellow if restoring or repainting.

Those are the top 3 colors that sell. Though I feel black and white to be overly represented, I wouldn't mind having a car in Fashion Grey.

I could swear that Champion Porsche in Florida painted one of their development cars a Special Grey that was an American Concoction, but I could be wrong. That was an out of the Park Homerun for a new shade of Grey. Fore we all know the many different shades of the Aforementioned color.

But at the end of the day just go with what color you like and forget about resale. You are buying the car for your enjoyment, not for someone else who might own it later down the road.

Saw a yellow Targa 4S driving in the opposite direction last week - it looked spectacular. The best looking car I've seen on the road in years.

Yellow is the hardest color to steal. Thieves hate 'em.

Beautiful car Sir.

There are many different shades of yellow.
**IMHO**
EX: Defender Yellow is close to perfect. Jeep Wrangle yellow the worst.

Racing Yellow is by far one of the best Yellows I have ever seen.

Enjoy,

Bret.
