Blue-ish is certainly what I'm after. I found a Cayman at a local dealer in this color and I think that I will go visit and check out the color more.
Thanks for all the help and the pics.

Here is my Altas Grey. A very special color that appears differently under different lightings -- sometimes it is grey, sometimes it is black, sometimes it has a hint of blue, and sometimes it has a hint of purple. Very mesmerizing.
First I was not sure if I wanted to pay thousands dollars more for this special color when I bought my car, yet after owning the car I would say I have no regret.
Sorry, pictures just cannot do justice to this beautiful Porsche special color, one has to see it in person under sunlights to reallly explore the depth of this color.
With best regards,

I always liked Atlas. It looks like a sharp dark bluish-Gray. I am saddened to see it go away (along with Seal and State), leaving us with just Meteor as the only Gray left (looks like a flatter Seal Gray that has been left out in the sun and beaten up by rain for over 20 years). You don't normally see a beige interior on an Atlas car. Usually they have black or Gray interiors. I think the beige in the pictures is making it look like a different color than it really is. The second picture in the above post is a pretty good representation of what Atlas looks like in normal light.

Atlas is my favorite "regular" (non-PTS) color from Porsche. Here is my Atlas Cayman:
Here's an Atlas Turbo in bright sunlight:
As mentioned, it's very light-sensitive. It looks black sometimes, blue sometimes, dark gray sometimes. One thing I did notice is that it's MUCH better at hiding dirt than black. It's a fantastic color.

I've seen Atlas Grey in person and it is one of the most beautiful current Porsche colors available. It is a true bimetallic which will colorshift depending on lighting. In Sunlight or brighter light the blue really stands out against the grey flecks of paint. When cloudy it looks almost dark grey/navy in color.
I wish the Spyder was available in this color, I would have ordered it in this color!

Atlas is one of the finest colors.
.....I always thought your car was black!

Bought an 07 Targa 4S in Atlas Gray Metallic and Terracotta interior sight unseen in March. Talk about a leap of faith! Anyway, AGM is a fantastic color that pictures just can't do justice. In bright sunlight, you can see flecks of gold, silver, red, purple...it is really a great color. Can't go wrong....good luck!
