Default PTS color in US Carrera S configurator

Does anybody know the name of the color that is displayed when you select "custom colors: exterior paint to sample metallic". It's a light blue color.

It looks like it could be a couple of colors.

Fountain Blue Metallic



Horizon Blue Metallic





Zircon Blue Metallic



Dove Blue Metallic

All of them are handsome.

Why is there nothing like them available? (There was a momentary "ice blue" (??) option that came and went in a wink recently but it seems to have vanished.

I wish that there were something between the pedestrian white-silver-gray-black tints and the candy colors.

If it's "paint to sample" will it have an identifying color code or name other than just PTS? I mean, if it's the customer's color, why would Porsche have a name or specific code for it? Or maybe I don't understand the whole PTS concept...

Fountain blue was available in the 997.1 TT and still is by special order.

You don't understand the PTS concept. Porsche has to give it a name and a code number. Usually, they either put it on the fuel filler lid or on the driver's door sticker. Hunt around, you will eventually find it. They don't put it on the trunk lid.
