Why not just say to the SE, " Look, You really do not have any appealing colours for me too select from and Im not prepared to pay for PTS. So I will make life easy for you and the factory. I do not wish to choose a paint colour at all for my new car, just have it delivered in "Crayon"!!". ;) ;)

It’s a little known fact that Henry Ford whispered to Ferndinand Porsche, ‘ You can have any colour you like as long as it’s Crayon 🤪🤪
He said the same thing to Audi, but said Primer Grey instead.

With colours, when my Macan was very delayed with no build date in sight over 9 months after ordering, I went back to considering an RS4. Think they look great in Red. And nearly ordered one initially instead of the Macan. For quite a while, you could buy a fully loaded RS4 for just over £70k.

Anyway, went back onto the configurator, Red & Green had been deleted. The only colour options on a top of the range RS4 was White, A few Greys, a horrible dull Blue, and Black. Not very inspiring!

How can it possibly be a supply issue?
It was only a few years ago Porsche said if you want PTS it'll add 6 months to your order due to supply chain issues.

They index towards 'standard' colours.

There’s an Audi E-tron close by and walk past it with the dogs on a regular basis, uninspired flat gray with full face black wheels, looks as dull as dish water.
Wouldn’t buy in a million years!

And shortly after the above photo was taken, a second Racing Yellow 911 turned up to brighten the scene even further, parking next to the Shark Blue 718 Spyder, to stop it feeling lonely. 💛

I was thinking that. Shame but I just hope there are some nice brightly coloured used ones available when I'm ready to move to a 911
