I've been playing with Porsche's online configurator for a couple of months now, as I have a CGTS 4.0 on order and am waiting for a build slot. I really didn't consider Gentian Blue because the color looks underwhelming in the config builder. I had been planning on a GT Silver build, but then when I saw a used GT Silver 718 at the dealer, it didn't wow me like I expected it would. I've had several silver and gray cars, and I think it might be time for a splash of color in my new CGTS. Thanks to this thread and the pics that people have shared, I have a much better idea of what GB actually looks like!
I've taken the pictures from the Porsche configurator (left), and tweaked them a little bit (right) to give a better representation of what GB actually looks like. It's a subtle difference, but for me it's a big one!

Yeah as you’ve seen from the photos, GB looks a lot better irl than the configurator. I wished for midnight blue but GB has grown on me a lot.

I am a big blue fan and I love my Miami Blue Targa GTS; however, the Spider I am ordering is going to be Gemini Metallic since the GB is a little too dark for me and I do not want the same color on the next one.

As already said you really need to see it in person. It's a bit of a chameleon color, changing with the lighting. Try to see if the dealer has something in this color, or at least see the sample they should have in-store. Take it outside in the sun.

Gentian with Cognac leather. Not mine but was available (I think it's gone now) at Porsche Fairfield. Pics from their IG. Very special combo imo. I'd pass on the Cognac steering column though

Anybody know what the going price was for this? I assuming those Cognac bits are CXX so this should be quite expensive. Was this an abandoned car or dealer order?
#715
If I'm not mistaken, this car was ordered sans Cognac steering column and door sill. There was an error, and the car was not taken home by the owner. As for the cost, I'm also curious. I believe that it was around $8700 on the 991 3s

This (of course without the cognac steering casing and door sills) shows how classy the Espresso/Cognac leather option would look on a Gentian GTS 4.0
#717
The MSRP was $138,000 over $16k cost on interior. In person I personally did not find the car very complimentary. It was abandoned by the owner that ordered it.

I like the seat piping but can't tell if it's black or a dark blue of sorts.

Gentian Blue is a great color! So happy I was gutsy enough to order it, all my previous cars have been white, silver and gray.
The cognac buckets look amazing (except the steering) but I am glad I went with SS+ for my lower back.
