yellow looks better and better on modern Porsches as there are so much counterpoints in black like the headlights, base of mirrors, wheels, etc etc. They look like bumblebee from transformers in a good way. I dig the yellows.

If only Bumblebee progressed from the Beetle to a Porsche 911 as it should have been instead of growing a mullet, growing a neck beard, smashing down a Natty Light, and turning into a Camaro….

Personally, I don't think finances should enter the equation when picking a color. I went with green myself and my new Range Rover will also be green. Interestingly, the Range Rover salesman told me that "people love green, they just don't buy green" when it came to the dealer's experience moving used inventory.

@Richard_Wallace could you explain more about tax credit on selling to the dealer?
For example, if you buy a car valued at $100,000 and you trade in your old car for $70,000; the sales tax due is on the $30,000 difference instead of the full $100,000.
Other states (California for example) do not reduce, so in the example above the sales tax due is on the full $100,000 amount, regardless of trade in value.

Some states reduce the taxed amount on a new vehicle purchase by the value of your trade in.
For example, if you buy a car valued at $100,000 and you trade in your old car for $70,000; the sales tax due is on the $30,000 difference instead of the full $100,000.

The first 911 I ever drove was a 997.1 in this colour. To this day, I think the colour looks great, and really suits the 997.

I think any of them would be pretty easy to resell (current market anyway). Since you might want to sell it back to the dealer (with markup of course) so you could get the tax credit (assuming you are in the states and that is a thing where you live. Not sure where you are located.
But assume you want to sell private - GT Silver, Jet Black, Agate Gray are very popular colors and traditional. Yellow, Shark Blue probably more specific to someone that wants a brighter color. CWM, Dolomite, Agate and Chalk are also good colors.
Really not sure you would go wrong with really external color. The key will be doing a tasteful interior - with no wacky color combos IMO. Nicely optioned of course (it is a GTS). With the GTS many like the CL wheels, and if you want higher resale go with Manual (though more limited market as mostly PDKs are sold). Lastly if it is a Targa it would sell for more as well.
