Default PTS gone. Are we expecting any new colors for 24?

Missed the window for some of the more fun colors. PTS isn't available until Q2'24 or later? Is there any expectation of newer colors for 2024 or are we stuck with the boring colors in the config right now?

Probably stuck unless they add 1 or 2 of the top requested PTS colors.. essentially what they did with Rubystone.

I don’t know. The color choices are disappointing.

Although. I will say that I’ve been happy with my backup choice of Guards Red. I’d almost make it my first choice if it was orangier and … gulfier.

Agree, very limited choices especially with PTS gone. Loved Oslo blur and dark olive green.

Hyundai and Honda must have cornered the market on Arctic Grey.

Has anyone heard that Zyclam Red Pearl might be offered in the "special color category" in the last half of 2024/early 2025?

While I personally like Rubystone, I don’t believe it was ever a top-requested PTS color. A better example would be the addition of chalk due to the popularity of fashion grey. I think most Porschephiles were surprised to see the addition of Ruby Star Neo.

I would not be at all surprised to see Shark Blue replaced when the 992.2 arrives. Yes, SB is somewhat popular, but it has nearly run its course.

It’s by far my least favorite color. Doesn’t age well.

Out of all the colors currently offered I generally like it. It ultimately depends on the lighting. My least favorite would be GT Silver, but I have owned 5+ new BMWs in some form of silver. The vast major of vehicles on U.S. roads are white, black, silver or some sort of grey. Most U.S. car buyers are rather bland and/or afraid to step out of their comfort zone.

Idk if it's a comfort thing or more just less risky to get pulled over hah. That's my main concern with guards red, in a see of white, black, and grey cars.

Comfort thing.

The easiest solution, do not do stupid @ss $hit on public roads and the police are not an issue. Just common sense. In a post pandemic society I have been informed by multiple friends whom are LEOs that they generally do not want to deal with us sheep in regards to moving violations.
