May I add my 2p worth on ‘colours’ for GT3s
From my personal perspective I reckon that the standard GT3 supports brighter colours, whilst the darker shades compliment the Touring Pack cars, with mid-range colours, aka SB, suiting both iterations, but as many have said, there isn’t a bad colour for either of the GT3 versions.

RE: the vexed question of specific colours & their interpretation.
Total colour blindness is an extremely rare condition, which comes with other attendant severe visual problems. Colour deficiency is not so rare, but less prevalent in females, and is marked mainly by an inability to distinguish nuances of colour, in multi coloured situations. The main culprit is so-called ‘red-green colour blindness’: not blindness to red or green, rather a confusing of colours. Individual subtle differences in colour appreciation in those with 'normal' colour vision are common.
I would go as far as to say, very few have ‘perfect’ colour vision. On a linear scale from total colour blindness through to perfect colour appreciation, the vast majority fall somewhere between the two ends of the spectrum (excuse the pun): with an infinite number of variations & therefore takes on any specific colour – albeit nuanced differences but differences all the same. Hence, one’s appreciation of colour is highly individual & will therefore differ, however slightly, from the next person’s take on any particular colour. Most individuals will form a cluster around a measurable 'norm', I imagine
Some will say, hang on, my optometrist/optician says I have perfect colour vision: but, I’m afraid, the colour tests performed by optometrists are necessarily very quick & crude measures of colour vision function.
Now, photographic depictions of colour frustratingly suffer even greater variability & flaws; enough to be blatantly obvious to most onlookers. Limitations in the light grasp/variability in sensing medium/processing/transmission/presentation of image captured/etc: plus the interface between each of those elements & more all combine to degrade the accuracy of the final image presented on a screen.
So, is it any wonder we angst over inherently flawed imagery presented to us (& processed by us) that we all see so colour differently?
Enough! Of course, there is a multitude of other factors/variables to be considered: the effects of natural & artificial lighting, & human dark adaptation (which degrades with age) to name but three. As ever, feel free to add/correct the above – as we all learn from correction & inputs of superior knowledge.
Me? I’m gunning for GT3 with Touring Pack in Agate Grey!
Cheers

The choice of wheel colour can make a big difference to the look of the exterior colour.
I'm quite surprised how many people seem to be choosing silver wheels.
I agree with you on this.I'm quite surprised how many people seem to be choosing silver wheels.
I personally don't like silver wheels on light colour cars i.e. White, yellow,GT, Miami as they are brighter than the car in a strange contrast way and think black wheels look a bit to strong on most colours.
Satin platinum seems to work on pretty much every colour.
All IMHO.
