Simple as black and white, no shades of grey! haha just kidding.

Here's mine, white with natural tan interior.

Me Too Silver is in the running? Err, sorry, I mean "Arctic" Silver...

It's nice in the press shots, but I still like my Cobalt I wouldn't mind Signal Green, though... Or Mexico Blue.. Or Speed Yellow...

These cars are just awesome. My dad had a customer once come in and order a 996TT. When my dad asked "What exterior color?", the guy said "Surprise me". So my dad picked white. I heard that and thought "Ew". And then it came in, and wow, it was gorgeous. Really brought out the car's hips!

Actually, the whites are pretty nice to look at- a mild tint, some black wheels, . . . nice

The two non-colors are the hottest. Black & White.

Been looking for a white one, they're very hard to find!

My natural reaction in a thread like this is to support yellow, so I guess that's telling me that yellow is in my future. However I'm still a big fan of White and Seal Gray. If I could find a nice White over Black, I could see myself going that route though.

I'm not sure if I should be shocked by this or not.

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

The best colors IMO are understated and show the lines of the car, even at night. Silver and white. Dark cars disappear at night.

Although Polar silver is even better than Arctic IMO.
