In the 993 forums Pastel Yellow demands a high premium, similar to Riv/Mex blue.

The Pastel Yellow is a nice color but if you're not careful it might come off as a bit, well, feminine

Default Selo......Deal your expecting in ABQ.

Selo......I'm also a resident of Santa Fe. I've seen your car cruising in Aldea (where I live). I'm planning on ordering a new 991 Carrera S in a few months. Just curious about your % discount @ Porsche of Abq. Thanks.

enjoy your new car, but don't ask anyone other than you about something as personal as color.
PY looks great on 993s, but i don't think it would look good on a convertible with a black roof.
but who cares what i think

Went to a local PCA event today with 56 cars present. It was amazing to see that many cars and that many great color combos in one place. Only problem is.....now I'm more confused than ever.
White with red, silver with red, meteor with red, macadamia with black, aqua with black, red with black...hell, I'm even thinking Ipanema with black would be neat, although I've yet to see one in person and I don't think I'm willing to take the risk. I shy away from a flashy exterior color as the car will be parked in the same garage where my patients will be parking. It's bad enough to be driving a Porsche - adding a flashy color is just asking for bad feelings, in my opinion.
