First post, more ro come sometime, hard to catch this color in camera.
Swedish winter really sucks. 911 is trapped inside...
Love the car, though its kind of a scary love sometimes.

I believe these are the three most common colors, in order:

1. Guards Red
2. White
3. Black

the real way to answer this question is to post a series of Polls with the selection being the various color options

e.g. a Which color Blue Poll for either LWB cars or all cars - options would include Minerva, Gemini, Gulf, etc.

the votes should reflect what cars were made in those colors, or at least which ones were exported to the US

Not the rarest, but definitely not what you'd call common:

White Gold Metallic. Offered in 1985 and '86 only, at least here in the U-S...and resurrected this year as a trim color for the 997 GT3 RS!

So, out of the three 911's I have owned, probably all three would fall into the least common color 911... I guess in my quest to be different. All have the color blue in the paint description - Diamond Blue is really more grey/silver/smokey color - although it definitely has a blue tint when it's overcast outside.

There is a 911 in my town that looks almost exactly like this one, but I think it only a 'Turbo Look' cab with BBS rims. It does look good but its not my first choice of color.
