Default Best color for 992 GT3?

In the coming year I have to make the hardest decision of my life... choosing the color of my 992 GT3. I’m leaning towards Miami Blue or Jet Black Metallic, but I’m open to every color. Not seeing the production model yet, it’s hard to say which will look best, for example I love Miami blue on the 991.2 GT3, but I hate it on the standard 991.2 models. So it’s hard yet to say what color will look best. What color would you pick?

If you’re building it, a GT3 is worth the splurge on a special color option in my book. If you like blue...maybe Oslo or Gulf?

My dealer recommended against a PTS color, he said it could double, or more, order to delivery timeline.

Aventurine Green or Gentian Blue. The new 992 colors are the best colors for this car.

I agree that bold colors look great on GT cars, but not on regular carrera models. It looks like the regular models are trying to hard.
I agree that Miami blue looks good on a GT car, but terrible on a regular 991. Similarly, I think guards red looks fantastic on a GT car, but terrible on a 991 carrera.

The 991 is similar enough to the 992 that I would go to various dealers and several cars and coffees and look at 991 GT cars to make your decision. None of us can tell you what color is best, color is subjective.
