Default How about....

I think the RS may actually look good in this color with black wheels and trim.

That color wouldn't be my choice but I agree that Porsche should come out with some more interesting colors. Black and silver are so boring, and they make up 50%-60% it seems.

What do you mean by PTS?

Bring back the non-metallic jellybean colors from 70s!

I like the bright reds, blues, oranges, yellows etc.

Too many silver, grey and black and I have a dark grey car.

I hope they get the deviating color cleared up. My dealer is trying to get an answer on it before submitting PTS for me on an '11 RS.

That is my plan, hence this question

At the moment, I am focused on a bright blue (Mexico, Maritime or Riviera), Lime Green or Signal Yellow.

I'd like to stick with black accents, wheels and decals, no matter what PTS colour I go for.

Signal Yellow is a terrific color--rich, compared to that washed out yellow they have today.

Don't order a paint to sample Blue turquoise:

Here is a good list of colors: http://homepage.mac.com/markd/914/colors.html And http://www.928gt.com/t-928paint.aspx and http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au...es_porsche.htm
I'm waiting for an RS allocation and will do PTS.

I guess I am lucky in that I think all GT3's look best in white, pure, clean, like the CUP cars.
My PTS would have been the white on the MKI.
