Default Boring Colors

I see a bunch of people in different threads saying things like “silver js njce, white to but they are boring” thats like saying you have to dress like a clown when you go out or else you are boring, what happened to class and style? More and more people are painting their cars with weird colors just to stand out and not “be boring” and its ridiculous. Lizzard green or whatever its called is boring AF because you will get tired of it in a month. Buy cars that will last forever. Classic colors are the best. Sorry 😙

I got Aventurine green despite not being one of the standard colors because I felt it would hold up over time. I agree some colors that make your car look like an M&M, other than guard red and race yellow of course, may not look so great later on.

i dont get it, having an opinion is being a troll? Kinda tired of seeing people call classic colors boring. Also.. manual transmission om the 992 is a marvel. PDK is great but not the same.

Classic 911 colors have always been very conservative and definitely not colorful.

Who defines class and style? Why should their definition of class and style be the standard? Everyone should just march to their own drum, based on their own taste.

I got the same color in Aventurine after a love affair with Chalk. My wife turned my head, and I’m glad I did looking back. Options, Options, Options! If they did not offer it, people would complain. Can’t live with it, can’t live without it.

its true, my point is.. classic colors are not boring. They are classy. Theres nothing classy about a lizard green anything going down the road, i also see lambos doing this thing and its really stupid. But ofcourse just my opinion

There are enough Black and Silver 911s in the world.
More than 80% of the cars and SUVs sold today White, Black, Silver.
These “colors” are “boring”, because they’re commonplace.

A friend of mine just picked up a Rubystone Red 964. It’s an amazing color.
