What color - paint to sample for 997 GT3?

In theory, if you could paint-to-sample a new 997 GT3 with any historic Porsche color that you wanted, what would it be?

Just curious for opinons on this one... thanks

I think I'd stay away from Conda/Viper Green, Signal Orange or Gulf Orange as they are too close to current GT3RS available colors. Otherwise, from the longhood palette:

Gulf Blue
Pastel Blue or Glacier Blue
Aubergine
Flieder (Lilac)
Beige Gray
Irish Green

From the 356 palette:

Heron Gray

Generally speaking, what colors do you like? It would be easier to know what you like or dislike before making suggestions.

Mexico blue is a pretty serious color. There are only a handful of paint to sample 997's with it. I would get that.
