It is without a doubt pinkish but definitely not Caddyshack pink.

Nope.


As for frozen berry, I’m just glad to have another color out there besides black white and gray.

That looks great. Definitely unique. Good on you for sticking to what you like regardless of the opinions of others.

Looking forward to more photos!

Regardless of the gender studies, I don't like the color on a car. Still looks like Mary Kay car to me.

Porsche shoulda instead offered an orange or signal yellow so I coulda got a skittle car.

Lava or Pastel as standard color options on the GT4 would have been my desire for sure!

Saw a standard Cayman in Frozen Berry at the gym the other day. I pretty much poo pooed this color until I saw it in the flesh. While I still wouldn't choose it for myself, it is MUCH nicer in person!

As others have said, It can work with black wheels, black interior, white or silver stitching. I wouldn’t order though. It’s one of those colors that would make resale extremely difficult, but then 20 years from now somebody would want it even more.

I saw this parked at Road America last weekend. Yes looked better in person but not a homerun for me. Yes not a 718!

My daughter would disagree wiht you. We dressed her in blue and neutral colors for a long time as we had infinite handmedowns of baby boy clothing. Being 1 when covid hit isolated her pretty good from outside influences. We did nothing pink in the house. My wife actively tried to not have her to like pink. Soon as she could understand us if you ask her in a book which car was hers, which horse, which bike, etc, she pointed at the pink one consistently. Guess what she said her favourite color was as soon as she could communicate it? Pink, followed by yellow and then teal and then purple for ranking. Now everything has to be pink and yellow.

She also likes girl toys despite me preferring to play with boys toys with her. She wants to play dolls, store, house, etc, not cars or trains.

Now she's only a sample of 1, but scientific studies have shown women are biologically coded to like pink more so than guys regardless of cultural coding.
