Of the current choices, I like cobalt blue, white, and speed yellow.
I'd love to see a GT3 in Tangerine, Signal Orange, or Blood Orange. Another interesting one would be Zanzibar Red (metallic orange which Porsche will offer for the 997 as a $3k option).

Having had one in SY, Cobalt Blue and now White I have to say that SY is my favorite. Mind you, having said that I saw one in Gaurds Red with RS front PU and Rear Spoiler and Black Wheels which looked absolutely Fabulous.
SY with Black Wheels is also good looking as is Larry's White with Black.
If I could have any colour choice it would be an RS in full Gulf colours. Monster!!

Forest Green would be my choice, then Ocean Blue (available to order presumably?), then mean and nasty black. Good shout on Zanzibar Red - that suited the Mk1 GT3 perfectly and I've no doubt it'd look great on the current car too.
BTW I've asked this so many times and in so many places but if anyone has got or knows of a pic of a Forest Green GT3 (I know they're rare) PLEASE tell me!

I agree. White is "The Color" for the GT3. It commands attention without the "hey look at me" aspect of Speed Yellow. Parked side by side with my (extremely rare) Artic Silver the white car looks way better. My wife got it right when she ordered white IMHO. Viken who in real life is a professional arbiter of esthetic perfection also chose white. That's proof enough for me 
BTW I wanted my GT2 Forest Green with natural brown inside but the additional cost of the paint and leather was as much as a new Honda Civic so I bought a red one.

Sloth,
Actually White is the Offical racing color for Motorsports in Germany. Hitler was not fond of white and changed it during the Third Reich to silver. It was Officaly changed back before or right after Germany was re-unified. This was how it was explained to me by the Director of BMW Motorsports A.G.
