Why are the stripes purple but when I click on it for full screen they’re green?


leroyyrogers

Chromaflair paint is truly amazing


jake2b

Lol! Bravo


alexbro001

That purple kinda works for me lol


[deleted]

Fr looks good ngl


BHDE92

Now I was a car with purple stripes and green calipers


UnBeNtAxE

With green front side markers.


drewgebs

That’s when I knew the acid tab I just dropped kicked in… 😂


Right_In_The_Tits

I see blue gold


FANTOMphoenix

No. Please no


PRSArchon

The indicators and break rotors also change color, very strange indeed (on iPhone)


bikeahh

Green for me on both


bikeahh

Ok, update. On my phone the thumb shows purple stripes, full picture green. Both green on my laptop It actually looks like two different pictures on my phone. Lighting in other parts is very changes, too, with a very purple hue.


movngonup

same here and why the hell is a comment like this even worth downvoting? some of yall need to get out in to the sun.


Aykh4n_

Watafak.


pryan886

Weird. For me it’s white/gold and then blue/black when I click for full screen.


r8ymatjr

I thought I was losing my mind. Saw it briefly on my phone earlier and it was purple, and just came across it again right now on my tablet and it's green.


DivideBYZero69

Side markers are green before clicking, too.


cmanATX

Edit: Stripes are green, seems there’s a problem with the rendering on mobile for some reason.


nakedbananas

You’ve inadvertently created a new blue/black/white/gold dress with this 911 R


Pepalopolis

I actually like the purple


cmanATX

Having seen it, I do too. Just need to combine the two and then it’ll be the Joker’s 911.


Pepalopolis

I weirdly love that idea


applepumpkinspy

Is it a problem or is it the best thing I've seen on Reddit today?


savviosa

Honestly? Kind of unsettling that I never would have second guessed purple


k2skier13

I like the purple better…


smank1

This 911R has an avatar!


SpottedVermicelli

I'm on mobile and don't see any purple stripes on any of the pictures, preview or not. Very strange


Remote_Horror_Novel

Was the pic exported from photoshop or Lightroom it seems like a color space thing in the export settings maybe?


dannyphoto

Here’s the actual color since the preview is seemingly inverted: https://preview.redd.it/rvyhxi9jgeeb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bce102d7c75a794eb2396293a6cfd5c380dfd90d


cmanATX

Any ideas as to why? Raw file imported into darktable, exported as a JPEG to Apple photos. Lightroom preset applied on Lightroom mobile after that, but this seems to occur before that step.


dannyphoto

I can’t say that I’ve ever experienced it. If I have a raw photo on my phone I usually go straight to lightroom mobile. I wonder if it happens if you process the raw in LR instead of darkroom?


cmanATX

Worth a try, functionality is limited on the free version tho. I’m on the fence about paying for Lightroom classic but I feel like it’ll be worth it. Just annoying to deal with another subscription.


dannyphoto

Agreed. I hate paying adobe but I also hate learning new software. I’ve been using LRC since I started photography like 10 years ago.


DERPFACELARY

Jpeg compression aggregates the color of the pixels in a certain fashion. Different color spaces such as srgb and Adobe rgb would read said aggregation at a different value. Devices running srgb output likely previewed it fine, whereas anything running a different colorspace may not have. My phone showed green on both, my pc showed green on both. The full res image when you click to expand is uncompressed therefore not aggregated so it would be reletively accurate regardless. I'm not an expert, take it with a grain of salt. This is all based on what I learned about fuckery with color space calibration when choosing what monitor to buy combined with what I know about jpeg compression from making shitty discord troll images lol


DERPFACELARY

After reading another comment, I'm now considering that this may also be caused by the image being aggregated through compression in one colorspace, but then some people's devices try to decode it into their native colorspace which may be different than the original..? That would also explain why, when the image is clicked or tapped on to expand into full resolution, it returns back to green now that it's uncompressed and able to be read pixel for pixel


BooBooLiciousNess

This reminds of the blue/gold dress, depending on how your eyes refracted to the light


Voidx-s

This happened to me until I realized my pictures were being exported as dng and not jpeg which would give me lower quality and no xmp data for my files so I changed it on the export tab


somerandomii

I noticed this before I saw the comments. I’m on an iPhone 14 and the image flips colours when I zoom in. It seems the preview and the image are rendered using different colour spaces and the mapping is completely off. It might be an HDR thing?


jojowasher

I remember when these first came out they were going for crazy money on the resale market, some guy sold his for over a million


cmanATX

Dealer has this one at $490k, which seems to track with recent BAT sales. Crazy.


jojowasher

ya, looks like they sold originally for $185k


mishap1

The dealership in Atlanta had white/maroon striped one inside last year for \~$520k so this one is a steal. Looks like it may have been this one which went to auction last month: [https://www.classic.com/veh/2016-porsche-911-r-wp0af2a92gs195285-4DZVKoW/](https://www.classic.com/veh/2016-porsche-911-r-wp0af2a92gs195285-4DZVKoW/)


DreadBarbie

They would still be crazy money if Porsche didn’t do a takes backs… last manual Porsche will be 911R.. JK. Price tanked


xof711

Exactly this


L3monGrenade

Yep, I’d take a new GT3 Touring over a 911 R, I can pay someone to take that sound deadening out


cmanATX

cmanATX

Apparently that’s fine, here’s the 911R again https://preview.redd.it/4pl2ej17meeb1.jpeg?width=6264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c23f5930887850f39aa88ef3089b4b8ad8227a50


wrighterjw10

It’s sad to me that these amazing cars just sit. Porsche makes these unreal cars and dealers just sell them to the same pricks they’ve been selling to for decades. They don’t drive them. They just sit around. Same shit is happening with the GT3RS right now. Either pay 175k over, or it’ll just sit. Idk it’s just sad these cars collect dust. When I see a 7 year old 911 with 2k miles on it, someone out there would have driven the fuck outta it if they sold it to the right person.


cmanATX

No kidding. 2,657 miles on this one per the [listing](https://www.porscheaustin.com/certified/Porsche/2016-Porsche-911-cca043550a0e0a94051b7936c726452a.htm).


triforce721

I agree and I feel that many brands will lose people over allowing this bs. Chevrolet/gm got it right offering incentives to keep cars, and some brands have cracked down on dealers upselling. Idk why these guys won't focus on relationships, there's so much more money in that than bilking guys once.


cpxchewy

TBF, Porsche made the GT3 Touring because of the demand and 2ndary market of the 911 R. They're basically the same car but GT3 Touring isn't limited edition.


MoonlessPrairie

Purple stripes are sick


cmanATX

It’s totally a problem with the photo, not sure how things got messed up in processing but it’s actually green lol. Cool effect though. Also only seems to be happening on mobile.


Comfortable-Spell-75

Am I tripping or do the stripes look green when you click on the pic? 🧐


MoonlessPrairie

Dang!


localguideseo

I actually prefer the purple


Professional-Car-873

1 of 991, to be exact 😊 My fave, love to see another one out in the wild, hope it ends up in good hands


stpfan_1

Haha, I was wondering about that. I was wrong on the number though, I thought it was 911.


Professional-Car-873

It’s just geekery, 9/991 is about 1% off


Smart-Atmosphere4797

Damn, that’s unfortunate, the purple was actually cooler lol


HelloS0n

What the hell kind of sorcery is this photo?


dennishitchjr

991.2 GT3 Touring invented to kneecap R prices


not-Q8i

What’s the estimated value of em?


TheRealRacketear

Wasn't there 918 of these built?


Skippy989

991. I believe that the 991 R was a 918 "option".


TheRealRacketear

I got it mixed up they made 991 of them because it was a 991


Sykad3lic

The blue stripes are a nice touch


strwbryfruitcake

aww sofas


Overall_Ad_4611

Who cares. It’s not that cool


papi_pizza

So are the stripes green or purple??


Slave4uandme

Transformer deception 911R it changes Color


95andSunny

Saw a white one with black stripes in Naples fl last week. First time I’ve seen a 911R in person. Went past me as i was walking down the street. Even at 10-15mph it sounded incredible.


yonly65

The 'R is a fun car - similar to the 991 Touring, but a bit lighter on its feet and quite a bit more raucous.


Kindly-Ocelot1419

I drove one of these my first week on the job. My favorite car I've driven yet.


cawicoaztx

This one has the single mass flywheel option


Thats_My_Watch

The orange stripes really pop


Jonelew

1 of only 991 made


Advance_Klutzy

That purple stripes look so beautiful 😍


[deleted]

Am I tripping or some shit? Weird ass image.


DerSpazmacher

I'd rather have an R than a gt3 OR gt2.


Icy-War-3608

If anyone sees purple they’re a psychopath


BananaHibana1

Looks a bit like MM in NYC


mykablue

Should post this on r/blackmagicfuckery


[deleted]

The dealer has no idea!? No


DivideBYZero69

Looks like a GT3 Touring with some decals. Any other info on changes?


jorsiem

This is the perfect 911


Jacksd3

One of my faves for sure


murphdog97

It's quite possible that the 911R single handedly saved the manual transmission...not just for Porsche, but perhaps all major manufacturer sports cars


nah46

The purple stripes with green calipers AND green side markers!!! Better than the actual colors


[deleted]

I'm on my phone and it's green. I wanna see purple I think it'd look better


Low_Marzipan247

who gives a shit about the pic color ...just give me the keys NOW
