So we have yet to see how 'Saffron' looks to the
human eye. Indeed it looks like 'Signal Yellow' in
that photo...or 'Signal Orange'. I will venture to
guess that it will be less striking a hue in person.
But that is purely a speculation given my experience
with pearl & metallic paints! However if the 'Saffron'
color turns out to really look like this, it then would
explain why 'Signal Orange' was recently rejected
for PTS. It would be surprisingly close...

The 'Saffron' .2 991 gt3 photos are apparently taken from
an internet site posted by Will Lee in Instagram:

I am familiar with Ferrari's expensive optional color
'Giallo Triplo Strato'. And it's a bit 'too' intense &
'loud' for my taste.



This was the Ferrari color that Chaosoul mentioned as to
what perhaps PAG was shooting for with its new 'Saffron'
hue. But in my opinion, 'Giallo Triplo Strato' is a more
suitable color to an Italian 'Prancing Horse' than to the
'stud' which is the city of Stuttgart's symbolic Equus!








I really do not understand why PAG would do a .2 991 gt3
press car in 'Saffron' unless they intend to allow this new
color to be ordered on this gt model. But who knows what
PAG is up today re: paint colors!

an example in a Euro spec car brought
by PAG/PCNA to Rennsport IV that Fall
at Laguna Seca (CA):





'Racing Yellow' has quite a bit of green tint
that reminds many of the Lemon fruit:






And quite a contrast to the 'Speed Yellow' it
replaced in the standard PAG color palette:
