That's my cousin's amethyst Spyder, it looks a lot better in real life than that photo. We are just waiting on my viola GT4 to join in, will look like that GT3 as I have gone for the gold wheels too.

You can blame Porsche Delaware for the potato camera pics, which do no justice to this color.

They posted a video on youtube here that really shows off the color MUCH better, and you can clearly see the metallic/pearl in the sunlight...

More pics here. It's for sale at Porsche Delaware for insane ask of $170k with 5700mi:

Interesting, their description states that it is "Gulf Orange" but then at the bottom it states "Custom Color - Pastel Orange". Based on the pictures I think it might actually be Pastel Orange since it looks a little lighter, but it is always hard to tell.

That Porsche Delaware car has wrinkly dash in the two areas that others have reported the problem. I’m thankful to say mine is almost perfect with only a slight wrinkling that needs to be pointed out to be seen.

They initially listed the car as PTS / Custom Color - Gulf Orange. Once they updated the listing with actual photos, they did correct the initial Exterior to Pastel Orange

Is Thai Tea pastel orange or gulf metallic? or is it green.

Yours? Stunning! I have what looks like the exact same spec (except I should have painted my calipers black) waiting for a boat. What does the interior look like? Would you be willing to post more pics on one of the photos threads so I can live vicariously?

Judging from its paint code W50, it should be the new name of Pantone 296C.

I know this isn’t a GT4 nor Spyder but just wanted to share Mint Green. First time I’ve seen it in person. It’s at Porsche San Diego if you want to see it for yourself.

It’s a very light pastel green that is super hard to photograph on an iphone11 but these pictures are a good representation of the color IRL. From some angles and lighting conditions, the color seems to approach a little bit of the blueish hue in darker light conditions. In lighter conditions with direct light from showroom floor, it looks to approach a little bit of the yellowish hue.

The pictures of the rear quarter panel is a good representation of the color in natural light. Very nice and unique color but personally I’m not feeling it on a Taycan. IMO, a color like this goes well with a GT product but not a Taycan.

That's really nice. I assume the rear and side valence paint work is Special Wishes. Someone spent a pretty penny on that car.

yes, I did hear from another source that Manaus Blue is just the new Porsche name for Pantone 296C. It’s not a new color.
