I originally was going to do Miami Blue, but switched to Aventurine Green. I am VERY happy with my decision.

I finally saw AV Green in person last week... Not Impressed at all. Just Blah. I recall making a fart noise with my mouth as I looked at it.

I went with non-metallic White.. however my initial build had me going for the adventurine green.. had never seen it in person and just didn’t have the guts to commit to the color.. with that being said. My vote goes to adventurine green and congrats to those who get it. I believe it to be the most unique color option, and it looks quite classy IMO. I wish I had the guts! lol

If asked to put down cash on the most popular color which would double the next most popular the Adventurine Green would absolutely not have been where my money was placed and I say that liking the color. Maybe on a Panamera but on a 911...

I stopped by my dealer to check out a 992 up close - they finally have a couple including a demo (with a cupholder no less). I'll arrange to test drive that soon.

They were parked beside a pair of 991.2 turbos and I actually found the 992 had a more aggressive, muscular stance than the turbo, especially the curve up and around the front wheels.

They had a black one which looks, um, black - and an aventurine green which looks a bit different in person than any photo I've yet seen. It was bright daylight and it really doesn't pop like a green, it's more like a gray. I'm a fan.

Oh, and now that I've seen the nubbin in person it's much smaller than I thought. It's a wee thing.

Saw my first 992 in person over the weekend and it definitely looks better than in photos. The dealer had three that were sold and none to drive but I’m definitely going to drive one before deciding what to buy. Glad also some are coming with Pirellis instead of just Goodyears.

That pic, to me, looks heavily edited for color & lighting?

I think this was the Gentian Blue at our launch event? I forgot to take photo of window sticker
Put this baby out in the sun where it can shine!!!

I voted GT Silver but also love the Aventurine Green. But really surprised it won by such a landslide....

The 992 looks great in any of the colors IMO. Your really can't go wrong. Personally, I tend to prefer white/chalk because I think it accentuates the lines without being to attention grabbing. I even like the yellow they have now. It seems a bit more muted than what they had before.
