I'm in the market for a 996 so I have this on my mind. I'm not too picky about color but there are definitely some I prefer over others. Some are definitely rare and I haven't seen them all but for those that I have seen I think Lapis Blue is my favorite. Cobalt Blue and Guards Red come in not too far behind. I haven't seen the Basalt Black on a 996 but it looks pretty good on the 997 that I had seen it on. It gives the standard black a little more character.
What about you?
#1 White, black looks so good but it won't stay clean and shiny for long. Not to mention it's like getting into an oven after sitting in the sun all day.
If the time machine was working I would go back and order a new '99 in Pastel Yellow with a natural leather interior. Unfortunately the machine was not working, so mine is the incredibly rare black with black interior...

I think these cars look great in yellow. They look great in general, but I think they look better in the darker colors like black and blue (like mine), but maybe that's because there are so many silver ones out there.
If you love Lapis Blue Metallic, it's required by law that you also love Ocean Blue Metallic. My first 996 (back when they were new) was Lapis Blue and my current 996 is Ocean Blue. It is not easy to tell the two apart. In the right light you can tell, but they look very similar in typical lighting.
It's not "biased" when you actually do own the best color

White all day!!! I just think there is something so elegant about white cars. Red to me is my least favorite, a red sports car is cliche in my opinion.
I tend to like white and most bright colors but speed yellow is way on top for me. I have two SY cars and plan to at some point make my 67 912 SY....many wont like that....
Ocean Jade, Zanzibar red, Orient Red, Arena Red, Rain forest green. Both Mine are boring silver but I keep looking!! I daily drive and silver looks good even when I cant clean it!
Man I am digging this green machine. Dark brown leather seats would set it off so nicely.
Not usually a fan of gold anything, but those wheel totally work on this baby! Reminds me of Bimmers from the 80�s. 👍
The various metallics and pearl paint available over the life of 996 chassis are few and far between.
Midnight Blue Metallic
i do also really like the lister who has the Vesuvius purple one and Iris Blue Pearl.
After seeing all these cars...makes me realize I need to recast my vote....My favorite is any color car that is well maintained. A clean well cared for 996 looks great in any color....

Guards Red and Speed Yellow are favorites but I have to say, after seeing this pic, Ocean Jade Metallic is right up there too
. Black and silver (my color) are my least favorites.

My 99' cab is Ocean Metallic Blue, and my 01' turbo coupe is Guards Red. I really love both colors, but I've still never seen a stock 911 color that I didn't like. I don't think they offered a color for these cars that doesn't look great on them.
I would kill for an Ocean Jade Metallic coupe with Nephrite Green interior. It's not even that I really like the color that much, I just love how ridiculous it is.
I�d love to see some pictures of your 996 if you wouldn�t mind sharing a few? I just picked up an Ocean Blue 99 cab with silver sport classic II�s. Needs a paint correction, a new top and the rims refinished but I might have to throw the same side decals on that you have if they look good, which I�m sure they do
I have loved the unusual Porsche colors for a long time, the Ocean Jade coupe was one of my favorite cars, but as a Yellow guy nothing gets me more than my PTS Ferrari Yellow coupe with painted hardback sport seats, �Yellow is Cool �
Rich
ocean blue and midnight blue metallic are both incredible. Ocean blue has a bit more �purple�.
atlas and slate gray metallic are also awesome.
basalt black is always great.
there is a rare forest green I�ve seen but don�t know the name.
My first 996 was an 02 seal grey metallic. Sold it after deciding I wanted an “early build “ .1,,,couldn’t find any white over nephrite green 😎 with sport seats.
