Default Feeling Green!

My original build was with GR. However, the greens have grown on me though, and I'm leaning heavily towards either brewster, Irish or British racing green. I think they will pair well with a nice cognac interior. Silver script, stripe and wheels. There is something very elegant and not boy-racer about this combo, I feel.

thoughts?

Which green is that?

I would lobby for a rule that color names and color codes are watermarked onto all pictures. Especially ones posted when taking about colors.

How about a multiple choice?:

a.) Irish
b.) British Racing
c.) Underberg
d.) Brewster
e.) Dark Olive

OP: I like you're thinking on going green. I'm partial to Underberg.

IMHO - greens don't photograph well and are highly sensitive to light. It comes down to the amount of yellow in the mix. Buddy of mine is nailing down his shade of green for a well known 964 restomod. We've looked at dozens of shades. Ultimately came down to Underberg and Ferrari Verde British. He had a local high end body shop produce a couple of curved samples so he could see the color in various light conditions.

Not a Big green guy but really do like Aventurine green. I think because not a solid looking green but a Metallic Greyish/Greenish/different type of looking color.

Seriously under appreciated in my opinion- sort of like how Rhodium under appreciated as a Metallic Grey

I would have ordered Aventurine Green in my order. However, because it's not a standard color choice on a GT3 or GT3 Touring, it would have been a full custom color option at ~$24K. I went far down the rabbit hole with repeated discussions with my PA and in turn from what I understand in his talks with Philip. I would have been nice if they would have made it available, since it's offered as an option on 992's. However, the Porsche god's don't give us everything. Shame.
