Weird. That second picture almost looks like it could be chalk.

I thought the same too. I'm really starting to like this colour, just wish I could see it in person on a 718

I understand this might be an obscure question to ask after day 1, but do you have any regrets at all on your decision? I actually got the call from my SA yesterday to say I've got an allocation. I've been flopping back and forth between chalk and shark blue, currently on shark blue this week, but artic grey is definitely on the list now.

Not a qualm. I would get SB over chalk now if I had to choose but I would still option AG over both. 100% subjective.

Just got this photo today, though She’s on the “Grand Phoenix” in route to me.

Looks like Goodyears - I recall seeing posts on tire variations coming out of production. All good with Goodyear?

When is your freeze date? Looks like you’re in “The OC” my arctic grey 992 target dealer date is Nov 25 and it’s just up from you (manhattan beach) come see it in real life if you can’t find anything sooner. Scroll up, for build details on my early post today.

BTW i see the tension in Chalk and Arctic Grey, but shark blue is a whole other mojo. I loved shark on my laptop screen and started there but in real life was fun but just a few degrees loud for “me”, but not as much as yellow or the bright green.

Not sure on freeze date yet, but I do have a bit of time to decide. Thanks for the offer mate, but I'm actually in Australia, so a bit far to travel

I was certain I wanted something a bit more fun like shark blue, but I do love these flat grey colours, my only concern is there's so many other manufacturers out there pumping out flat greys, and I'm worried it's a bit overdone.

This has come up several times, can't remember if it was in this thread or others. Yes, there's pretty much a flat grey-ish color from virtually every other manufacturer out there.

But there's also other various shades of red, and blue, and green, etc. etc. As "fun" as shark blue may be, you don't think you'll see it on a Corolla some day?



Or a Civic?



Or a Subaru SUV?



My point is that nice colors aren't exclusive to specific cars. If you like a color, assume someone else probably will too.

I get there's a bit of a trend for certain colors at certain times, and flat greys are trending right now, this is true. But just go check out some of the delivery threads from the past year for both the 718 and 911... they're going to run out of Shark Blue paint.

Just go look through this very sub-forum. The "official" color threads tell an interesting story... right now there are over 1100 posts in the Shark Blue thread, that was started in April last year. By contrast, the Gentian Blue thread has similar post count, but was started an entire year earlier.

The white color thread has just over 400 posts.

If you want exclusivity, get white. Lol.
