Default GT3RS 997.2 brake pads type / color

I recently changed the brake pads on my GT3 RS 3.8 but I'm not sure that the Porsche service center has installed the correct type: red pads for the front and yellow pads for the rear rotors.

Does anybody know if the brake pads colors types are correct and eventually provide the Porsche genuine parts number for the front / back pads?

Thank you

From my recollection my car was delivered with P90 which is the red pad painted by Pagid for Porsche OEM. They melted on my rotors first track day.

OEM fronts are red (P90s) but there are 3 OEM options for the rears... The yellow pads are the sports option pad- longer lasting for track duty. Then there is a red pad (std) and black pad (comfort) for the rears...

Thank you Chris for the information; I mainly use my car on the track therefore the yellow type looks the perfect option
