I had a macadamia brown cayman followed by a silver carrera. I loved both.
I had a guards red carrera cab with a tan interior and really miss that car except for the oil it burned. Right now that's still my favorite 911 color.
I always click on yellow 911's I see online because I think they look cool but they tend to still be for sale a few weeks later.
I love miami blue, graphite blue, chalk and guard red on any 911.
I don't like black wheels anymore.
GT silver and guards red are classic colors to me.
GT3's are not subtle cars so I'd go for a bolder color.
My 2010 GT3 is meteor gray and gets tons of compliments and I feel slightly less douche driving it around.

Both the 992 GT3 nor the 992GT3 colours are not available yet,
so Sapphire ..
Sapphire was sarcastic, inline with this thread title that sounds to me childish or intentional to create marketing demand...

Agreed thought the title was stupid. Color is just about the most personal thing you can pick so to ask a bunch of people you don’t even know sounds like you should be worried about 1000 other things on your build first. You could post a poll with just about every color and still wouldn’t get a clear defined winner.

Speed yellow... the car looks fast standing still.

Light ivory was my choice. Understated, unusual and it pays homage to the light ivory 911 R from the 60’s.

If you are going for an RS, go with Black and get the entire car clear wrapped.
The light flashy colors with the contrast of all the Black plastic vents, scoops, hood, etc gets old real quick.
Black metallic with the carbon fiber looks so tasty in and out of the sun.

good luck

The coolest one I seen was that dark green gt2rs that was for sale a few months back with the aurum wheels. It was a like a brewster green with black carbon, gold wheels, and acid green spoiler decals. Check the old for sale ads. Or same setup only aventurine. After seeing that, that would be the one.

(sorry - just my opinion)
