i can see why a lot of people don’t like red on 911s, especially on a TTS. Most people owning a turbo s probably like that they are buying a supercar that they can daily and somewhat fly under the radar. I guess a red color somewhat takes that low key look away
The way I see it? Get the color that makes you excited !

Carmine Red looks good to me!
Some interesting interior options on this one...
Here is a nice Chalk video I thought you might enjoy as well...
Enjoy your car in what ever color YOU decide!

I went through a lot of color decisions (as most here can tell you ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I loved Carmine Red, but wanted something a little more classic and was set on Carrara White Metallic until I went into my local dealer and saw a Chalk 991.2 GT3. That was it for me. I immediately changed my order to chalk with a black leather/chalk stitching interior and all the exterior accents on the exterior done in gloss black, including the calipers. Very happy with my decision and now I just have to bear the couple of months wait to get it.

I'd go with Guards Red or Carmine Red... There's just something sexy about a red sports car.
The TTS is not really a "red" kind of car, it's more understated, BUT it looks pretty in the color either way, and your TTS would be unique because so few of these are ordered in red.
I definitely would not go with Chalk, it's such a boring choice. Everyone gets their TTS in Chalk and the color is just so played out at this point. It's the most "safe" choice you possibly make and that's boring. If you don't go with red, at least make the decision to go with a definitive color like White or Gloss Black, and not the "compromise" middle that Chalk represents.
Here is a Youtube video to get you pumped about a Guards Red 992 TTS that I found pretty beautiful to watch:

And here is another video of a Guards Red TTS being driven through some mountain passes (maybe this could be you if you choose to do European Delivery of the vehicle?):

I bought a chalk colored car with a graphite interior. I purchased the car used so I did not spec. That said, I love the color combination of chalk over graphite blue interior. I really liked the Carmine red, but when I saw it in real life, I was kind of let down.
In any case, my car is chalk with black arrow kit and the black exhaust. I think it looks great, but of course I do it’s my car.

Carmine red looks better than Guards red. Deeper red. Less orange. Light changes the way all colors look. Chalk is nice. Just not as nice as the reds. IMO more bold colors make sports cars stand out. It’s all personal preference though. I can’t tell you what you like, just what I like. I’ve owned both Guards Red Carmine Red.

As has already been mentioned on this thread, it is all down to what you as an individual love/enjoy. I was torn between Arctic Grey and Chalk (or Crayon as it's known here in Blighty) and went for Chalk (with SDP) as I just think it really suits the 992 generation. As an observation, I have had the most number of (positive) comments about the colour from passers by that I have had about any car I have owned...but that said, I have never had red before....
