Only because Miami looks more blue in pictures than in reality. In the flesh, Shark will be more of a true blue.

It is almost identical to voodoo blue. Much like lizard is to GelbGrun.

This 100% hits. Couldn't have said it better

I love voodoo blue a lot! But I will keep my GT4 order in guards red because I already bought a boost blue typeR to fullfill my love with blue

I agree and I can't wait to see it next to Voodoo to see how it compares. I do think that Porsche is starting to kinda get too many blues at this point.

I can post a picture of my (Miami Blue) Spyder next to my (Voodoo Blue) GT3 ... the difference, even with camera tomfoolery will be apparent to all!

Yeah, I tried to find the most offensive-looking photograph of a Frozen Berry Metallic car. (It does actually look OK on a Taycan sometimes...)

But seriously, kudos to Porsche for trying something new and controversial color-wise!

Sure you can be a COWARD and have your pick of 1 of the 5 Porsche shades of bright blue that no one on the street will be able to tell apart from each other. OR you can be BRAVE and go with Frozen Berry Metallic - a color that everyone will notice, will never be confused with any other color, and everyone will have a strong opinion about.

Is the consensus this will replace Gentian for '22? I really wanted Gentian but don't think I'd pony up for PTS for it. I had a Sprint Blue Audi S4 that looks a lot like Shark Blue. I grew to not care for it.

Sorry, but that is the most stupid reason I have ever heard for not ordering a specific car color, and I would say the same thing if I did not live in FL.

Anyway, 2022 GT4/Spyder colors in the US should be out soon...

Seems like as good of a reason as any.

What about all of them love bugs, the high humidity and its oh so flat.

I don't know - I live on the beach, which does not have those things...if I had to live off the coast I probably would not be here - it sounds like you know nothing about FL either.

You fell for it.

Didn't think it would be this easy.
