Love my Racing Yellow and it's "Free". For PTS, I like Mexico Blue.

I think it’s useful to organize favorite colors according to price point, since they range from $0 to $10K. Below are mine:

free - racing yellow
metallic - GT silver (current 991.2 GTS)
upcharge - carmine red
PTS - oak green metallic

Love shades of blues and reds. CR is by far my favorite. Also what I have, Night Blue.

Olive Green gets my vote. Sapphire Blue comes second.

I am a sucker for Nogaro Blue. (not my car) I had two Audi's in that color would love to have a Porsche in that color but the PTS toll is very high these days so that likely won't happen.

I'm the original poster and man, I'm loving this thread. I'm adding a lot of colors to look for in my hunt for a 911.

Thanks a lot for the inspiration!

Love my Dark Blue Metallic. I wasn't specifically looking for a unique color but I am glad I ended up with one.

This must be a "where's Waldo" photo for porsche-heads where the car blends into the scenery :-)

Great photo, awesome color!

I owned a series of black Porsches before taking delivery of this Club Blau GTS Club Coupe 5 years ago. Honestly, I was never a big fan of bold colors on 911s until I got one. This color “makes friends” everywhere it goes. It is available only as PTS now after its initial 60-car run on the 60th Anniversary Club Coupe cars in 2016.

I think MeerBlau is a very elegant color. Of course, I am biased.... it's new to me

A lot of stunners already. That Nogaro car, and a Golf Blue one I've seen somewhere, and the Meerblau car get me every time.

But I've loved green cars since high school and am partial to Oak Green on aggressive 991s (see Jeff Cherun's GT2 RS) and Brewster Green on "milder" 991s (from standard Carrera to GT3 Touring). Brewster is hard to capture in photos, however, as it's quite the chameleon. Sometimes, it reads black. Other times, it's almost Irish Green—despite being quite a bit darker. Unlike my Oak Green Carrera, which to my surprise generated a lot of attention and comments, no one seems to notice the Brewster car going down the road—which is a big plus in my book. The biggest downside is it's nearly as "difficult" a color to live with as black; an unexpected upside is that, unlike black, I don't mind Brewster when it's dirty or even filthy. Not sure why that is…but it looks "lived in" when it's dirty and I like that—so long as the wheels are clean.
