    997 GT3RS - Orange - Which longhood color is most like it

    The title says it all. I want to defer to the experts on the board. We are having a debate over here - 1 side favors 1973 Gulf Orange, and 1 side favors Blutorange/Tangerine. Any thoughts?

    I am not quite sure if "Continental Orange" was ever available on longhoods, (I think it was an early shorthood only color, i.e. '74-5 to '78) but the two orange 997 RSs I've seen so far look very close to it. A little less yellow maybe, (making it slightly more red) and it seems a little more black to tone it down a bit.
    But, as Dennis Miller used to say, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

    You have to see the car in person. I do not think it is like any of the older colors.
