Carmine Red or Ice Grey, about to lock

Many of us have had more than one red sports car.
Ice Gray Metallic is new, fresh, and a knock out color. It is not bland or overly bold, it just works in a very current way but as always color is a matter of personal preference.

I like carmine over guards red but I went with guards red b/c every time I went to the dealership I'd see Macans and other garden variety Porsches in carmine red on the lot so it made carmine less unique to me. Still, objectively speaking I think carmine red looks better than guards red.

Prior to my Agate gray C2S, I had a carmine red and Kalahari tan (somewhat like cognac) Corvette C7 and never tired of that combo. Classic combo that will survive the test of time.

Assuming this is for a 992.2?
Both Carmine and IGM received price reductions from 992.1 to 992.2, not that it should be a deciding factor, but something i'd mention. I believe both were $3270 for 992.1 and for 992.2 are $860 for IGM and $1500 for Carmine or something along those lines.
IGM is a super-unique color, sometimes looks white, sometimes, bluish white, sometimes silver. You have to see it in person, it's close to BMW Hockenheim silver, but has more character. I would think touching up IGM would be more challenging vs touching up Carmine red.
IGM would be fantastic with almost any interior. I saw a 992.1 Turbo in IGM with slate gray + chalk stitching seats and deviated chalk centers and it was very upscale looking.
Carmine seems to scream sports car, which isn't a bad thing. The 911 can be sporty in a bright color or elegant in a muted color, both are great.
I don't think you can go wrong either way.

They're both great colors. I also didn't like that Carmine was available on the Macan, but almost every color except for Guards and the current Yellow is available on Cayennes/Macans.
Guards is amazing, but does have an orange hue to it, while Carmine is a pure red. For 992.2 they're priced the same, for a 992.1 you're paying a premium for Carmine.

I’d go IGM, it highlights the lines of 992 and changes a lot under different lighting.

My friend just took delivery of an IGM Targa. I drove right by his car on Sunday without even seeing it. In a line of grayscale NPC cars parked next to each other on the street. It's basically white under the sun. It's not bad cause it's still a 911 but I would choose a non-grayscale color
