I'd go for Black with Gold wheels.
Having said that, I want to order mine with Midnight blue which would be PTS on GT2 RS, I wrote to Porsche Exclusive in Germany and this is their reply
"the midnight blue metallic has also to be tested. If a customer wants to have a colour-to-sample on his Porsche, we order a batch of this colour at our paint supplier. After this the paintshop department has to check, if this paint works on all materials of the car body because we give the same warranty as for a standard colour. The GT2 RS body is a mix of aluminium, carbon fibre, synthetic material and so on. So the paintshop has to check the colour matching.
Even if you would choose for example the rubyred metallic, which is a standard colour for the other 911 models, we would have to check, if ruby red also works on a GT2 RS, as this colour is not intended for the different parts of the GT2 RS.
As the ordering and the testing process takes some time, the production time extends to 6 months at the minimum. "
The thing I do not understand is why the hell are they making things so complicated, its not as if I am ordering a matt colour, for god's sake, I am only asking for Midnight blue which was a standard colour on all 911 two years ago since the 90s !!!!!!!!!!!

Can't vote this one because the best choice isn't listed. The best looking GT2 RS is Black/White-Gold. Period. Black completely integrates all the Carbon bits and White-Gold provides the perfect contrast. All the rest of the color combinations make it look too much like your common lowered civic. In other words, rice-rice-baby.

I tried to order Slate Grey (60's 356 color) PTS and was told ........ "NO PTS for the GT2RS line !
Standard colors that they're offering are too "run-of-the-mill"
This is supposed to be a special car so why not special colors ?

This is the exact reason why I cancelled my order and requested a refund of my deposit.
A Special car like this deserves a special color!
Color choice too bland and boring.
For that much $$ Porsche should allow their best customers to specify PTS

Agree, they should paint it whatever color you want for the price and since it's a VERY special car.
