I thought PTS was you give them the sample color and they'll paint your car that color. I didn't think PTS was from a predetermined list of colors. Their are standard colors, then their are optional colors that they charge extra for, and then their is PTS. No?
I understand that currently the PTS colors are from a predetermined palette . I think in the old days it was anything you wanted. Not sure when the change was made. I also understand that the dealerships hate PTS and really don't tell you when you can order it. There are windows when you can pick from the predetermined "approved" PTS colors...as far as I know and I am not an expert on it.

^^^^ Correct. This was covered in Panorama a few months ago. Is was too time and cost intensive to create, test and go to market with just any water based color that met their quality standards. So they now use a sample set of colors they have already proven to meet these standards.
PS Not really...but between the Turquoise and Cobalt Blue Metallic, those blues are just about as purdy as it gets (especially Tom's Cab...even though she "only" be a C4S!)
I do know in recent years they have retired certain colors from the current PTS palette. E.g. If you wanted to order today you can no longer get Atlas Grey....big bummer when I win that lottery...
