Color affects resale by up to 20%

You can market to 80% of the people who will accept the more common color but reject certain colors or to the 10% who want a specific uncommon color. The more difficulty you have finding a buyer, the more you have to drop your price.

Silver is 10% more than typical, red and green are 10% less than typical. So the difference is 20%

I'm sure it varies by car and changes over the years.

It all depends, if your color it attached to a limited edition thing like the orange boxsters, then yes some people might pay a premium.

I like the funky colors. I love the return of the Viper Green and Orange on the GT3RS. I like those '70s safety colors but also some of the blues (Albert Blue) and Aubergine look great on the "old" cars. Since Boxsters will be "old" one day, will you want one that disappears or stands out?

Ronzi,
I like your rims. Are they originals?

They are aftermarket wheels, not Porsche option.
They do not seem to be marked with any decipherable mfr name, so I can't tell you who made them.
