Nice colors

Pyrite has a dark flop to it in the shade. Almost looks black. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx-UzFEiZz0

Thanks, that the info I can use. I don't think I like that very much.

I was going to say, I don't think Marrakesh would look good in the shade. I'm almost certain I have seen this color around here and it looks like pooh when there's no sun.

Have you seen Porsche's Cognac that they used on Panameras a generation ago? Might be too gold for your tastes, but I always thought that color was amazing.

Glad to see progress on the car.

I think I'm gonna have to go with a lighter color. I'm fine with the color being darker in shade, that's normal. But I would hate to end up with a color that only looks great at a certain angle in a certain light.

A couple other Porsche colors. First one is Chestnut brown metallic (color changes a lot depending on light and angle) and the last three are Copper brown metallic.

I think this is a great color for a Protouring build.

Ever think of white ?

I agree Don, just isn't as brown as I originally had in my head. But I keep going back to this one anyway.

I'm on this color for now. I carried a small paint chip of the other Porsche brown and looked at it in all kinds of light. Looks great in most, but not all lights. Started to think about dark greys and then came back to this Porsche Anthracite brown metallic. Looks grey in some lights, but has a brown tinge in many lights. Best of both worlds for now.
