I like my black 991S, wheels painted to match, black interior....in fact that is why I ordered it that way.

I have a white, but silver enhances the lines much better.

Any color is a hard decision regarding the 991.

Black isn't a color.

It's a labor of love.

white feels more inviting...
i went to a dealer and saw almost every color available, right after they got shipments. I asked myself what car would I walk in right now? ...white it was

Of course - it really depends on your personality...

I also love Cream White

Carrara White looks great with its slight hint of gray in it, but it is gone now.
Have you seen the new pure white for 2013?, same color of the 12' Cayenne White which replaced the beautiful 11' Sand White.
Looks washer/drier white to me, No thanks.

Guy that ownes a hanger next to mine at the airfield has a brand new 991 in silver. While it is one of the better colors, both my wife and myself agreed that it made the car look small and somewhat hides the lines. We decided on white as it seems to have the opposite effect.
However, the racing yellow is also very good at showing the lines. The red less so. Most of the metallic choices are fairly dark so not too much favoured here. The GT silver is the best of the metallic choices.

But it is great that everybody has a different view. Imagine we would all agree on what color is the best. Life would be boring and all our cars would be pink (assuming the wife gets to decide).

White and Yellow are my 2 favorite. I am not a black car person. I bet aqua blue would look good on the 991 also.

basalt black, with it's deep metallic, makes life with a black car much easier. just did a paint sealant followed by a good paste wax and the car looks outstanding especially out in the sunshine.
really liked the dark blue with gray interior but it was the same color combo as the box ster S that I traded in.
no regrets with the black.

Love Guards Red. A classic Porsche color and a refreshing change as it seems that everyone has black, white, silver or gray. I just picked mine up yesterday.

black looks sweet - especially w/ classic wheels

When it gets dirty, wash it. I've had 4 black cars and one black truck.

I looked at a Black on Black with chrome trim around the windows.
Looked absolutely stunning as it completely highlighted the lines of the car.

It's all in the eye of the beholder..

It more appears that some people clearly just do not "get" black.

Colours of the rainbow are fine and good. However, it is not the average person that can keep a black car looking awesome. It takes extra time, effort and pure unadulterated dedication!

And for those that cannot bare to spend that extra time, effort and pure unadulterated dedication to maintain that little bit of work and attention to have a black car and have it retain its deep pristine gloss and shine, there are "easier" colours of that lovely rainbow to have and to hold and call your own.
