Default Poll: What color is your 996? (metallic)

The goal of this poll is to get a rough idea of individual color counts for all the colors available on the 996. Since RL polls allow only 20 choices, this poll is only for metallic colors. I will create another thread to poll non-metalic colors.

At this point, my Rain forest green metallic accounts for 25% of 996's. I would never have guessed that.

I no longer own my 996, but I’d be happy to enter my car’s color if you’d like.

Unless you sold it to a Rennlister, then probably would be good for you to enter the color. If the new owner is on RL, hopefully they will enter it.

As I write this, there are 3 (three) Ocean Blue Metallics! (versus 1 for all the other colors)

Ocean Blue Metallic off to a strong lead!

Some great pictures how it has the purple in it during certain sun conditions:

I feel under-represented

Here's one vote for Dark Teal Metallic, which is not on the poll. (And it was a factory option color, 2003-2008.)

My cab is an Ocean Blue Metallic car, so that puts it at 4 so far. I recall reading somewhere that in the early 2000's, silver cars (all brands) were the most popular color then. I suspect they'll be the most common among the 996 crowd, as well. Looking at Paul's beautiful example reminds me that my car is overdue for wax.

On Rennlist that is... While I'm sure we'd all like to believe that Rennlist is the be all and end all for Porsche owners, I'm pretty sure it represents only a small percentage of all Porsche owners around the world or even in the US

Might not be a 996 but my '93 928 GTS is Lagoon Green Metallic one of one for 1993. As far as my research goes, lagoon green was only offered in 1987-88 model years.

It's good to see that there is a large number of Rennlisters with truly impeccable taste!
