I like the Miami blue, it looks like a real 1930-1960's french blue, much like a bugatti blue or something you would have seen on the Italian Riviera. Certainly different though I don't know if it really suits an RS...
Now a black RS, that would be a sinister looking thing.

Kobalt:Whoopsy, are you sure it is Mexico Blue: Some at Rennlists says it is Miami blue?
Maybe he got it wrong, but i got my info from another 918 owner who was contacted by Porsche about the PTS.
But as we read from someone else who posted earlier, Porsche is flooded with PTS demands.
Gnil:And here is a very nice link to all colors made for the 911:
Nice, but inaccurate. Under Greens, 253 (lichtgrun) is not even close.

I have posted the following information at Rennlist, which is the primary internet website that I participate. Although related to the US, it probably has similar applicability to other Porsche markets in Europe, Middle East, etc.

As promised by Barbara Boeckenhoff (Manager, Porsche Exclusive - Personal Design PCNA), today I received the following information from Melissa Witek, whom we all have to thank for her dedicated service to customers on issues of PTS & 'Exclusive' options. I also want to thank Ms. Barbara Boeckenhoff for her assistance in these matters and arranging for my visit with 'Porsche Exclusive' in Germany. I have decided not to attempt any analysis of it, but reported just as I received it. Like Nietzsche, I am trying to be philosophical about it!
Saludos,

PS I depart tomorrow for Germany and have a tour of the factory on Thursday July 16th and a luncheon & afternoon session with 'Porsche Exclusive' executives on a Friday July 17th. I will report on those at a later date. I am also trying to arrange for a tour of the Porsche Leipzig production facility on Monday, July 27th.

To make it easier to read, my questions to 'Porsche Exclusive' are in 'red'. Melissa's responses are in 'blue'.

I agree. The photos are not always right, but at least it gives a good idea of the names of all colors that have been made for the 911

It is from the french configurator:
It is not sure that it is Miami blue but it is probably a good guess.
This is how salmon looks in the car configurator :
Does it look like in real life ? Not really .
Miami looks like that on the configurator :
What does it look in real life ? Hard to be sure .....

dertub:Miami is pretty, but if I was gonna go Blue, Mexico still wins.
I would go with Miami, Mexico Blue is a bit too flashy in my opinion (see Panamera Turbo S, sorry, don't have a GT3 RS photo with this color). On the other hand, flashy is kind of good for a GT3 RS.
