I thought it may be fun to start a thread for Carpokes’ members who own Porsche(s) with rare colors. Please post a photo of your car(s) along with the name of the color. The Rennbow website lists colors and grades them by rarity. https://www.rennbow.org/
My 718 is GT Silver, a fairly common but popular color.

Post away!

Never had a PTS so nothing hyper rare.

Probably the least common I have is my 997.1 RS which is in GT green ( Not Viper green which it is often called). It was only on the 997.1 as I recall:

I don't think my white 992 or guards red 951 qualify, nor did my guards red 991. Back in the day I had an '85 Prussian Blue Metallic 3.2 Carrera. I don't have any pictures of that car but it was a dead ringer for this one I found on the interweb. It's a deep blue with purple-tinted clear over it. Blue in some light, purple in others. It would be a popular PTS I think, but probably a pain to paint. I remember taking it to a body shop for bumper chips and at least two places didn't want to touch it because they couldn't guarantee a good match due to the color-changing tint....

My 2026 Carrera S in PTS VBRG (Verde British Racing Green) is a rarely seen color, derived from the same color used by Ferrari. It shows its green well in daylight but goes darker as the light decreases, going to almost black at night. The color was not previously listed on Rennbow but it's there now. :D

I don't have many photos yet - I need to get to a good location on a lightly overcast bright day. One of these days ...

The first three photos were at delivery 7-weeks ago before paint correction, PPF, detailing, etc. The last one is background AI enhanced.

It’s common and popular for one reason - it’s beautiful!
