Default Cayman R Black or Peridot Green

Hi All - I am going to purchase a pre-owned Cayman R. I am torn color-wise between Black with silver wheels and Peridot Green with black wheels. I think it will be one or the other. There are some differences in options between the two cars, and both sets of options work for me. I am more on the fence with color. Highly personal, I know. This will compliment my GR 1996 993 C2. Just thought I would solicit some views. The car is for road use, no tracking expected as of now. Thank you.

Green would be very unique.

I'd go for green... it's already a pretty rare car, the color will make it more so.

The one with the sport bucket seats.

Either that or the one that is not black. Been there, not a fan of black at all.

100% black.
Green is like dying your hair blue. Just not a good idea.

Go for the green ... I have owned 3 black cars in my life ... They are stunning for the first 15 seconds they are clean ... I would not do it again unless I had the means to have a full time person to keep it clean.

Get the one with the options that suit you best. If the options are equal to your needs, I would go for the unique colour but then again I am biased

from my experience, you may not have lots of selection.....
bought my R in february. platinum silver. i looked for a long time, never saw the peridot for sale. maybe one black. as was mentioned, the options drive the choice IMHO. good luck.
