Is that meteor, slate or atlas? Sometimes I wish Porsche would give less choices...

Looks like meteor. But very hard to tell with that "high res" video.

It looks a bit too dark for meteor. It looks more like atlas or slate.

I never thought picking a colour would be so difficult. I go from meteor to red to yellow to midnight to atlas to . . . I was up until 5am on saturday night looking at images and now have a huge directory on the computer of GT3 images sorted by colour. Maybe I'll put them up somewhere to save others the hassle of collecting pics.

I'd say they'd build it in Meteor as "new" colour, but it looks Atlas. I've found that Meteor consistently has a green in it (most easily noticed on the vast real estate of a Cayenne...) and the Atlas as more "gun metal" look to it. I like them both. So I chose black ...

I've confirmed (by contacting Porsche AG no less!) that this car is slate gray. It was a press car used in many magazines.

It looks like Atlas IMO.. Slate has a Brownish undertone in the light, Atlas looks like a deep graphite Grey

I don't think I could justify the US$3070 PCNA wants for that splash of color.
