What are views on this colour, here? In terms of resale, but also interested in general perceptions. It seems quite divisive. My wife loves it, as do the girls in the office. Male friends hate it. I am somewhere between the two.

The wife element is important of course but equally I don't want to attract the wrong attention, one of the reasons I am looking at a 991 is that it's less conspicuous and doesn't attract adverse attention in urban areas like a Bentley or a Ferrari does.

Yes, sorry the one I am looking at is Racing Yellow. I had a Speed Yellow 996 Turbo back in the day and got mixed up. I liked the colour on it but got lots of hostile looks.

I've always been quite unfussed about the colour of my cars but yellow does seem to inflame some people on the street. I had a yellow NSX which seemed to be a magnet for idiots. Both of these more than 20 years ago though. Even more confusingly my wife loves yellow, hates red, hates white, hates viper green, loves Miami Blue, I would take the right car in any of those except maybe white
