Default what are standard colors for 996 GT2?

Silver and black seems to be most common? Were white and speed yellow available as base colors as well? I'm looking for a white or yellow one...

Mostly black and silver...

I have seen at least two green ones with brown leather interior come up for sale. Real attractive combo IMO...one of them traded hands a year ago and I wish that I had pulled the trigger...but I am slow...

^It is a dark metallic Green. I am not sure what the official code is, but it really makes this monster car (6GT2) look like a gentleman's car! In person it looked great to me.
One was in CT and sold by a PCA private guy a couple of years ago, and the one that I missed was a year ago and it sold at an "exotic" car dealer in St. Louis, MO. I missed the latter...

Atlas Grey Metallic and Carmon Red Metallic were both added for 2004 model year cars featuring the 10 spoke GT3 style wheels.

Arctic silver, featured in the launch brochure and it's good enough for me.

The issue particularly in the UK is finding a good GT2 that hasn't been damaged or abused, colour choice is a secondary issue as we have less than 100 cars to choose from. I guess this could be the same in all markets as they are a rare car.

But what a car they are!
