I am contemplating buying a new 2014 GT-3. I want a bright color like race cars come in rather than a more understated color. Racing Yellow and Guards Red are nice but fairly common.

I have seen photos only of Signal Green and Mexico Blue on 997 991 cars.
What do you think of these colors?

Are there other PTS bright colors I should consider?

Lastly, does anyone know of an existing Porsche 911 in either the Signal Green or Mexico Blue color that I might be able to see in person. I'm in Iowa, but do some traveling.

Thanks......

 

Check out Martime. I like it more them Mexico and riviera.

 

I love Riviera Blue on the 997.2 GT3RS! I think it'd look great on the upcoming 991 GT3 as well.

 

The Gulf colors as in the previous post. That is one FANTASTIC looking car.

 

Here's a link to the most recent list of PTS colors. (Thanks to Z356 on Rennlist for sharing.)

It appears that Maritime Blue and Gulf Blue are currently being tested for feasibility. Mexico Blue and Riviera Blue are available.

Avocado Carrera RS

 

orange is my personal favorite

 

Another vote for Riviera Blue

 

Thanks for all of the input..........Is the GT-3RS photo with red wheels Mexico or Gulf Blue?

 

It is neither, it is Riviera blue. It's close to Mexico Blue though. Gulf blue is actually quite a bit lighter in color and looks more like a baby powder blue with just a hint of grey in it. Personally on these cars I think Riviera Blue and Mexico Blue are gorgeous. Gulf Blue is too soft on it's own and really should only be used with the entire Gulf Livery in my opinion.

 

Azurro:

 

Riv/Mex/Maritime blue are all gorgeous. The green commonly seen on .1 RS and a few .2 RS (see avatar) is not signal green but "RS green" also sometimes known as "viper green" - but not signal green which is quite different.

 

Signal is a lot duller than Viper Green.

 

The "grün / Green" on the most recent PTS list has the same color code (2D8) as the GT3 RS green.

Many thanks to everybody's input. Some of the blues have tugged at me,
especially Mexico and Riviera, but I think I am leaning toward green.

The first car I saw pictures of that made me want a brighter green color was a GT-3 RS from a couple years ago. It was a new car out of Florida,
probably a 997.2, from a Porsche dealership (Suncoast?).

However, the search for what RS Green really is has been frustrating.

I have spent many hours researching trying to determine whether 997 GT-3 RS green is it's own color code, or whether it is signal green or viper green. I find many conflicting reports. Show me an answer that sounds definitive and I can find at least one more than refutes it. Some even say viper green is the same as emerald green. One even says that 997.1 RS green is different than 997.2 RS green because the later is water based.

Does anyone really have a definitive answer?

Or are viper, RS or signal green close enough that it does not matter much?
