I'm surprise no one has done this yet unless I missed it. What new colors are you hoping for with the .2? Personally I hope we get at least 1 new green so we can have one as an option. Mamba Green would be my pick.
For me my 911 is about understated elegance and have preference for metallic based colours as opposed to celebrating the 911 beauty with bright and stand out “look at me” colours.
I personally like a lot of the green colours however if I were Porsche I would offer an alternative to Aventurine Green and think Rock Green Metallic would be very well received by a lot of buyers that want something different from Agate Grey, silvers, whites and blacks.
Moving away from the green colour wheel I also really like Carbon Steel Metallic as an alternative to Agate Grey or Jet Black Metallic. There are a lot of really nice metallic blues also if Porsche were to offer an alternative to Gentian Blue.
Currently rolling in a Macan Copper Ruby metallic loaner and have to say I like this cars shape dressing in this color. Now would it fit another shape or like would I like it after 5 years? other questions but it did got me pondering when you could get a 911 in Mahogany Met ....there was something about that silhouette in that unique color.

That Rock Green Metallic looks nice and so does the Carbon Steel Metallic. I would love to see both under several kinds of lighting conditions.
A PTS color is not going to be promoted to a regular color.
Green, any green really, only makes rare appearances as a standard color.
That being said, I’d be perfectly happy if the Audi color “Tactical Green Metallic” got a Porsche equivalent. If you want to see where the standard palette is going, look at Audi, because that’s where our Shark Blue and Arctic Grey came from. There’s actually a long history of colors appearing on other VW brands before showing up on a Porsche with a fancy new name. Sure, the color names are different, but the similarities are uncanny.
Really hoping for an elegant green option, outside of PTS. I had Porsche Racing Green Metallic previously. Oak would be ideal but with the PTS window who really knows.
If they bring Oak Green to standard colours there will be outrage.
This reminds of the Porschephile who went to the trouble and expense to get Carmine Red approved via what is now called PTS Plus, only to see it added as a “special” color to the 991 standard palette about a year or so later. Now that is cause for outrage.

So brown is about to make a comeback? Cause that's basically what tactical green metallic is.

and if you want to see where those colors came from, just look at fashion trends, specifically the yearly published Fashion Color Report from Pantone is a good place to start. The trends seen on the runway influence designers, both in fashion and auto world, from colors to textiles and materials.
