Default Which Color Green?

I'm ready to order an '18 991.2.
I love green, but Porsche doesn't have a green in their line-up, so it will be a PTS.
I'm thinking Irish Green, one of my all-time favorites, but I also like Rainforest Green.
Just curious- if those of you who like green Porsches had your choice, which color would you choose on a new 991?
Thanks in advance.

For a true green -- I'd go Brewster

Personally, I like a blue/green shade, so Amazon Green for me.

Sorry, OKB, I don't want to hurt the non green lovers feelings.
All opinions are appreciated.

rk-d, Brewster is definitely on the short list!

ralt12, that Smyrna Green is "killer"1

I think some of the more vibrant, crazy greens better suit the GT cars as opposed to the "regular" 911.

What kind of green do you want?
Subtle? Brewster, Irish, BRG, Oak Green Metallic, Dark Olive Metallic, Porsche Racing Green, Lago, Aventurine, etc.
Not so subtle?: Viper, Signal, Gelbgrun, Lichtgrun, Grun, Auriatum, etc.
I believe all of those are approved.
I had ordered a TT in Brewster, but that was back when all PTS was stopped and that car ended up Anthracite Brown.
My Viper Targa should be on its way to Emden - it was V280 last week.
My short list was Viper, Brewster, and Oak Green Metallic. OGM is very pretty and not very common. I would have tried to get it with LTS in natural brown leather.
My kids convinced me to go bold.
There are a few Viper 991s around but I don't know of any in OGM.
Good luck and post pics.

Agreed, but of course personal taste for the OP. Some sort of shade of green is likely what I would order if I were to get a new PTS car.

For a more subdued green I like Irish Green the best. It seems close to British Racing Green. Brewster is nice too but dark enough that it be confused with black unless there is a good lighting.

For bright green's give me Viper or Signal. I have not seen birch green or yellow green in person so they might work too.

Given that they just did the 1m'th 911 (a CS) in Irish Green I suspect they won't release this color at the moment as a PTS - just speculating.

I'd probably go Viper, Emerald or Mint.
