Under the showroom lights, Rhodium is a pure cold shiny silver, and under sunlight it looks a little bit darker but, very close to the 918 in post #14 on this thread. No gold or blue hues in it, thank you Porsche!
Just ask your dealers for their 2014 sample plates, not the best way to see the color but it can give you a pretty good idea.
My 2014 991 S will be Rhodium silver for shure.

Looking forward to the photos from you. The dealers in Europe have not received the sample plates yet...

If this is such a "neutral" silver as is being described, then it seems as if they have found a new name for arctic silver!!!

Thank you. Possible with a photo outside (sun) of Rhodium and GT side by side?

Fantastic! Thanks! So they did away with the Platinum, which many didn't like due to the Beige hues. Brought back Arctic and are calling it Rhodium. Those who want a real Grey are out of luck, as Agate is just TOO brown for a true Grey. If you love both Grey and Silver, like myself, it looks like GT silver is a great mix!!

Rhodium Silver looks darker and deeper than Arctic Silver to me.

I'm still missing Seal Gray

I tried to see a Rhodium Silver at the Plano (Dallas) dealership and believe it or not they didn't even have one of any kind. And I think I remember the salesman saying he hadn't seen one yet either.

You might be right about Rhodium. I suppose we'll have to see it on a full car.

I feel your pain regarding Seal. I had an 03 Turbo in Seal, and I frickin' loved that color! Hell, I'd take Meteor at this point. IMHO, not sure they went in the right direction with Agate....

Unfortunately, I didn't take the photo. A friend of mine visited the Porsche design center in Southern CA last week. He took the photo with an iPhone. I would have liked to see a photo in the sun too, although I have NO REGRETS with my GT Silver.

I am just about to order a Silver 4S with full Espresso interior with a number of extended leather options. (I Had to delay the order a few months back due to an unexpected change in jobs but that's been corrected) I was all set on the GT Silver but now would like to see better how Rhodium would look with the Espresso. It seems quite a bit brighter but as many have said it's so hard to see in pictures.

Does anyone with a better sense of color have an idea of how the Espresso would work with GT versus Rhodium?
