PTS;Dark Olive Met Vs Amethyst Met vs Forest & Jet Green Met - Page 3 - Porsche General - PistonHeads UK

Hi there I need to decide on a PTS colour for a 992 GT3 and have narrowed it down to the colours above and I wondered if anyone in the East Midlands area had a car in any of the colours above that they would be kind enough to let me see in the metal. I’ve done paint down metal swatches but TBH I’m none the wiser and every OL image / video just confuses me even more as they just all look so different. Alternatively any images that you think are genuinely representative would be much appreciated. In the image the top colour is not in contention - it’s the green Taycan colour that I can’t remember the name of. Middle row left is Amethyst Metallic / Right is Oak Green Metallic Bottom row is L to R Forest Green Metallic / Dark Olive Metallic / Jet Green Metallic Amethyst Met , Forrest Met and Dark Olive Met all look very dark in the images flat on the top - when the light hits them on the vertical plane they all pop brighter. Thanks in advance Edited by RSVP911 on Sunday 13th February 20:16

Jet green metallic would get my vote especially with aurum alloys. That would look mental

Check the Taycan youtuber Shmee150 has.

Amethyst Met gets my vote. Green was the new black, but it is getting a bit overdone in my opinion. Purple is the new black.

Sorry cannot help directly, but have you looked at Rennbow? Also, a friend had a 996 in Forest Green Metallic (I think, it's a long time ago now) and in reality it looked fantastic. Forest Green?

In the Taycan thread a member (21ATS) just bought an oak green Taycan. He posted a few pictures of it and it looked quite different at dusk on a truck to in the showroom etc. I think most colours do. In that thread someone also posted a picture of forest green on a 992 I think. Out of the greens it's my favourite, but not convinced it suits pork. Amethyst is great but does look very dark under many lights.

It seem you've narrowed it down to only Metallic PTS colours. For me personally it would be Irish Green which is lighter and iconic. BTW congrats on securing a PTS 992GT3 slot.

This is Jet Green on a 991.2 RS, it's rather lovely

I'd throw Oak Green Met into the mix. Originally a Porsche colour. Jet Green looks amazing too.

Oak Green is stunning on a Touring but not so much on the winged GT3 IMO. Of the ones above I think Jet Green suits the winged GT3 best. If a metallic colour isn't essential then Irish Green is my personal fav. https://art.branipick.com/pts-irish-green-porsche-... https://www.google.com/search?q=irish+green+porsch...

I have a panamera turbo in Jet green, can easily email over some pics as I don't have an image hosting account anymore.

Dark Olive would be my choice, but it is entirely subjective.

Jet Green for the win ? Think I saw that Turbo S being delivered at my OPC a few years ago….great looking car. Although I do really like Forest Green too….

Here is Forest Green on my 964 if that helps. Cheers

Personally, prefer colours that are easy to maintain and still look good when dirty.

I’d throw in Brewster for a good flat colour - but I think I’m feeling more jingle jangle , sparkle sparkle

thomson said: I have a panamera turbo in Jet green, can easily email over some pics as I don't have an image hosting account anymore. It is without doubt the classy shout - really nice colour Basically it’ll either be Jet , Amethyst or Dark Olive Metallic - at least I’m done to three

Better image of samples. : Left to right Oak Green Metallic Jet Green Metallic Amethyst Metallic Dark Olive Metallic Forest Green Metallic

Jet Green Metallic all the way for me. That slightly-blue tinge really makes it stand out...

RSVP911 said: Better image of samples. : Left to right Oak Green Metallic Jet Green Metallic Amethyst Metallic Dark Olive Metallic Forest Green Metallic Totally subjective of course but what I note is many pics and replies on peoples greens, but little on Amethyst, so as I say....Amethyst is the new black (which used to be green).

pcrawf said: Jet Green Metallic all the way for me. That slightly-blue tinge really makes it stand out... Of the final three colours I absolutely agree with you 100%. Jet Green is bright and lively enough to suite the winged GT3.

Olive Green has a lot of brown in it…but then I think Crayon has brown in it too and some people don’t see that.

I narrowed down my PTS slot to Amerthyst and Dark Olive metallic, both look black in dull conditions but seeing TGE's youtube video on a Carrera GT in dark Olive swung it for me. My Opc had these Porsche air fresheners sprayed for me in both colours.

Forest green looks very dark in different light conditions.

Oak Green for me. (but none look terrible)

Olive looks a bit too “dirty pond” unless it’s in brilliant sunshine. Can I tempt you with Superior red metallic Edited by Nurburgsingh on Tuesday 15th February 09:42

Nurburgsingh said: Olive looks a bit too “dirty pond” unless it’s in brilliant sunshine. Can I tempt you with Superior red metallic I've been thinking about my ultimate 911 build for a couple of weeks now, and wanted a dark red colour. Saw this (as I think quite a few people have recently) and literally can't get it out of my head. Love it - wheels, chrome window surrounds, everything... But it's a touring, and somehow I can see it working quite so well with a wing!

pcrawf said: Jet Green Metallic all the way for me. That slightly-blue tinge really makes it stand out... What blue tinge? (We all see colours differently.) Great shade of green though. Some look very dark and drab - especially in the dull weather the UK has for much of the year - but JG is nicely vibrant.

Maxym said: What blue tinge? (We all see colours differently.) Ha! Chuck in inconsistent photograph reproduction on the different screens we're all using and it makes this thread kinda irrelevant :-) Maxym said: Great shade of green though. Some look very dark and drab - especially in the dull weather the UK has for much of the year - but JG is nicely vibrant. I've had Atlas and now Midnight, exactly as you say. If I look out of the window it looks very dull, but as soon as the sun comes out... I do like the Amethyst, I've seen a 997 GTS in that colour. There is a 997 GT3 RS up for sale at the moment that's had a Jet Green liquid wrap and it looks wonderful in the pictures.

Have you thought about a more classic 911 colour like Moss Green Metallic?

@RSVP911 - here are 3 pics showing how different the Amethyst can look - same car! This is most representative of what it normally looks like: [url] Here you can see it almost looks black (car in bg is black) |https://thumbsnap.com/hos2nenS[/url][url] Here you see it in the sun, so it doesn't normally look like that |https://thumbsnap.com/KbyhNFEN[/url] Edited by Coder on Wednesday 16th February 00:46

Viola Metallic.

Viola a lovely PTS colour. They did a limited edition 993 C2S in this colour I think.

Dark Olive metallic all day for me. Was hoping to have my incoming 992 GTS Targa in this colour but PTS wasn't an option unfortunately so went Aventurine. I found many of the greens to be just 'too' green, whereas the Dark Olive looked near black until the light hit it when it just 'pops' as you say.

RSVP911 said: Thank you - that’s really helpful - really appreciate you posting You're welcome! I think this colour is quite subtle and definitely more interesting than the usual black! What about interior? I find it so disappointing that the majority of Porsches seem to still just be ordered in black or white exterior with black interior (judged from 2nd hand market). Feels like a supercar, looks like a taxi Maybe people hedging their bets on resale value with lowest common denominator combination...
