+1 on the green. I have no idea what the popular 911 green of air-cooled yore was called, but that's exactly the color I'd want on mine if I could have it.
Some kind of Bright Blue (Miami Blue is too green for my taste), Bright Green (like Birch or Acid), Need a nice metallic Orange too (Like McLaren's Volcano Orange).

Irish Green and it is approved for PTS so you can order it for $6960.

Irish is just breathtakingly, stunningly gorgeous. I don't really know exactly how much premium I'd have paid for it if I could have found a GT4 in Irish on the secondary market last month -- would have required some soul searching -- but I'd have paid well more than twice that figure, if need be.
I agree with the need for a green option in the standard color palette, although I prefer Irish Green to Birch Green. I thought Porsche Racing Green was very good.
I find myself drawn to more unusual colors (I currently own a Mahogany Brown Metallic 911). I'd like to see a more subtle purple in the lineup, like Amethyst Metallic. A more subtle orange or even a copper color would be great too, perhaps something like Zanzibar Red Metallic or Nordic Gold Metallic.
I wanted to like PRG and was primed to do so, and given there hadn't been a decent standard green in years, I was glad it came along. But I really like greens to be non-metallic, and a little bit lighter so they don't go black in lower light situations. So I never totally bonded with PRG.
I did like Malachite Green, an optional metallic from the 987/997 years. It was a muted grey-green.
