I’m not a bright color guy myself, but if I had the scratch it would be either Mexico Blue or Ultra Violet.

Red is the single best color on that car IMO. Guards red is also beautiful. With black wheels and yellow brembo calipers that car is tits. There is absolutely no way I'd be willing to drop that kinda money on such a high performance car and settle for some average color that is readily available on most grocery getters.

Some cars just need to be a specific color; Ferraris should be red, Cobras should be blue with white stripes, Mercedes SL300 should be silver with red interior, etc. Porsche seems to be able to pull off just about any color and do so looking amazing; even the wild greens and oranges look darn good on them.

white has better resale value from what i've heard. (guys on track want to think they're in an all white cup car). Probably also less polarizing, guys who buy this type of car usually don't want attention, if they did they'd buy a huracan, 488 or 570s.

but you do you. hard to go wrong with any color. Grey, silver, white all look good. the blues look really good paired with the yellow pccb calipers.

Personally a big fan of purple and green (I'd love a green car), but I think out of the standard colors, yellow is also pretty amazing:

Agreed. My Turbo is slate grey metallic. I didn't want a silver, black, or bright color car.

But a GT3 I would do a PTS (Paint To Sample) and get something not on the color chart that year. Something flashy. If I spending the money on a new GT3, it might as well be a unique color as well for $20k or whatever it is.

My dad got his Macan S in Miami Blue w/ black sport classic wheels. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Saddens me that Miami Blue is no longer an option on the 911 or Boxster/Cayman. It's so beautiful and changes hues depending on lighting/weather.

I am sure you could get it if you paid for the PTS option. If you really wanted it.

But I agree about the color shift. I saw one in the sun and I thought it was a different color. As it looked almost like a pastel color. Totally 80's Miami look. It lives up to it's name.

I've had a LOT of white cars in my life - and I have 2 right now. LOL. I think on a car with good lines - white just sets it off. Not to mention it not showing dust like a black car does.

I like that Chalk though - I could get behind that!
