Porsche could have chosen any color they wanted and selected silver for the 996TT - please accept this is the correct answer. Otherwise kindly direct any complaints to the Museum curator.

I'll take the hard to come by "Orient Red" and will take the "Booby Prize" for my answer.

Just my opinion...
I saw a silver 996tt and an orange new Camero in a park lot last week, about twenty feet from each other. There were about 5 people gathering looking at one of them; guess which one? You got it, the orange one.

Slate Grey Metallic.

Black is my 2nd choice.

My old 996 was Arctic Silver "the official Porsche color". Wanted a different color for the turbo.

It's a museum...they can't bombard the senses with lime green, speed yellow or orange...
Which happen to be my favorites. Next car for me is a lime green Murci !
