Default Ruby star neo color controversy poll

Debatably one of the more controversial colors
some say it’s strictly a girly color
some find it appealing!

I picked it sight unseen, and there isn't any other color I'd change from the standard palette. Whether it masculine or feminine depends on your insecurity. It's for sure been a chick magnet though.

John Wayne wore pink and only Chuck Norris is tougher than him. I see no issue and think it’s a cool color.

I think it's a great color for a Mary Kay sales associate...

Who even came up with the idea of taking away the python green amazing color and brings in this “liberal” color 😂(totally kidding)
911 is a masculine Car in general
I could be missing the point

Pretty color for a women's sweater, but not for a car.

I’ve seen Rubystar Neo in person a few weeks ago on a GT3. It is not a ‘Pink’ car as many believe. It is actually a very solid color if you prefer loud colors. It’s a tad darker in tone than original Ruby, like a magenta with a hint of shade. I think it works well on an aggressive car with lots of black accents, but yes could look feminine on a base boxster or Macan.

What's important is you like it.

As the poll shows, not a fan favorite. While I don't like it either, I enjoy seeing 911's of all colors on the road and I'll enjoy seeing RN.

Python Green was ok. Too flat. Lizard Green was much better.

Ruby Neo is better than Python, but not Lizard IMO

Gay but nothing wrong with that. Just say you lean that way and be honest.

@Nidal I love skittle colored 911s and think it's cool that the historic colors keep getting recreated with colors like Rubystar, Python, and Shark. Rubystar is cool to look at but I personally wouldn't want to live with it. Same goes for the other colors frankly, though I seriously debated Python and Racing Yellow on my build. I ended up with black and expecting a second allocation that I would do in white. However, I do plan to add color to those builds. Irish Green to the black car and likely Python to the white car. In other words, I prefer bright colors as an accent on monochrome colors. My favorite colors right now for a GT car would be Signal and Irish/Brewster.

I also bought it sight unseen. I absolutely love it and would do it again.

As it reminds me of Rubystone Red as showcased on the 964RS, I personally love it. I can also understand if it's not to someone's taste.

@blackairforce1 your T is freakin AWESOME!
