And only Porsche's most Senior Tech's were allowed to assemble the Arena Red ones, they practiced on the white, black and silver ones to gain experience and accreditation. And the silly comments above about "received the fastest motors" is incorrect. We all remember the "Kills Bugs Fast" ad campaign, right? If Porsche used a white car they would have been legally responsible to have only said "Kills Bugs" or "Kills Bugs Pretty Fast" and they were concerned about backlash from PETA. This is a true story. Really.:
I luv it. I have a large 36" x 30" original poster of "Kills Bugs Fast"... its a beauty, and yes the Arena Red Metallic is top shelf !
When ordering the 993 I was that close to spec'ing Arena Red only to play is safe with a silver metallic over black leather. Arena Red Metallic, Slate Grey Metallic and Silver Metallic in that order for this 993 hobbist.
Hey, all of our cars are silver of some kind and yeah, we should get out more!

Riviera no doubt is the most desirable 993 color.

I'm on my third Porsche and found the color painted on the car in the best mechanical and cosmetic condition with the most expensive (clutch, synchros, struts etc) service work done already the best looking. This led me to Guards Red twice and Speed Yellow most recently.
Beauty is only skin deep, in this case only a few thousandths of an inch, - rotten mechanicals go to the bone!

Maybe - but if I had the means of speccing a Porsche new, I certainly would be picking the most desirable colour from my own perspective. No doubt there's a lot of demand for riviera blue - it's a great colour - but I do think the safe colours are those desired by most.
Anyway - all 993s are great no matter what colour.
