Help me choose a color!
I am getting very close to pulling the trigger on a new 991.2 order.
It will be a modest build, a base Carrera with only the essentials. Luckily, my favorite colors happen to be the $0 colors: white, yellow and red. In that order of preference. (That, and maybe metallic white.)
But that's where I'm stuck. I can't make up my mind. First world problem, I know.
I keep flip flopping between yellow and white constantly, and then every now and then cool myself off with the idea of the red.
I like yellow because it's flashy, it stands out, and is unlike every other Porsche on the road. But I also think this is its drawback. I worry that the novelty eventually wears off and it won't age gracefully.
White is very universal, it can be either classic or modern, anything you want it to be. It probably ages better too. Not sure it can develop a real patina but certainly better chance than yellow. The downside of white is that every other car is white. (That's how I consider metallic white too, it's the white-car look without looking cheap.)
What do you all think?

It seems like you already made a decision!!
I did a google search and just looked at a lot of cars to help me decide. In the end, I decided that it didn't matter much to me as they all look great.

I love other owners flashy Porsche colors. For me, I just like to fly under the radar and have an easy color to maintain.

White.
Because it's a car, not a Crayola crayon.

Yellow.
I have had a black Carrera, white GT3, Silver Turbo, Silver Ferrari, and a black Aston. Lately, I have been attracted to the not so common colors...
