Porsche has made some really good blues and reds.

My top three, Guards Red, Lapis Blue & Speed Yellow

But I am fond of my Orient Red Metallic

I may have seen OBM without even realizing it! I googled the two colors and I can't see a difference.

Arena red or Orient red -- hard to find, so I settled for boring old Arctic silver.

White all day!!! I just think there is something so elegant about white cars. Red to me is my least favorite, a red sports car is cliche in my opinion.
