Seems like the trick with picking a Porsche color is finding a popular color that everyone wants but no one has. Quite the conundrum.

Color is such a difficult topic as it's quite subjective. One glove certainly does not fit all when you're spending over $100k for a car lol! I love blue, simple as that. I love orange as well but don't want an attention magnet. Was lucky enough to build my own car and order from the factory, and since all my other Porsches were either Silver or White I wanted a change and go with something a bit more colorful. Debated between Miami Blue and Gentian and found Miami to be a little loud/flashy for my personality... Ordered Gentian without seeing it live on any cars and am quite happy with how the car looks, it is a bit of a pain to keep it dust/handprint free to be honest but that's it. For me Yellow (no offense), Red and bright Green is a no go as it's too loud. It's all just personal.

When there was a SoCal Spyder gathering, all cars were White, Silver and Black. Mine was the only one in color in about 10-12 718 Spyders (and one GT4). Quite surprised how many went with monochrome builds.

I bought a CPO 2022 Boxster 25th anninversary edition in Carrera white for about 9k below its original MSRP. 8.6k miles and nicely equipped with a manual transmission. I posted the details and pictures in a separate thread. So it seem to me that used GTS prices should be trending down as well. As for new GTS allocations or prices, dealers I contacted in NH and FL still want some sort of markup above MSRP. A MA dealer wanted 10k over and a FL dealer asked for 15k over MSRP. So for me, buying a used one, especially a Boxster 25 was a no brainer.

Even my saleswoman said (I dunno from where) that 8/10 like the color but wouldn't get it on their car

I know this car very well
I'll just say selling dealer isn't making much off the car even if they end up getting full asking.

I should have been more constructive. Gentian Blue requires constant sunlight to be enjoyed properly, otherwise it looks like every blue Tesla on the road to me.

Love Gentian, especially in low light. Don’t like Shark or Python.

Regardless of personal preferences, I do think Porsche does a good job of segregating special colors as PTS, and keeping the standard colors fairly pedestrian. There are some PTS colors that I don’t care for, but I get why they’re PTS.

Best thing said on here. I'm exhausted from screaming this at people lol

Fwiw, picked up my new BGTS today. Dealer just got a ‘21 spyder. Highlights: Manual, full buckets, spyder classic interior in Bordeaux/black, GT silver, black top, 10k miles, $131,700. Porsche North Olmstead, Ohio. No affiliation, car looked good, but I make no comment as to value 😊

I have always been a fan of Porsches blue colors, Rivera, Mexico, gulf, voodoo etc. When I started obsessing about owning a Porsche 5 years ago it was going to be Miami blue boxster at the time. Glad I didn't get an allocation at that time or it would have been Miami blue. I seen a Miami blue Macan in the overcast skies today and it looked the best the color ever looks to me. In direct sunlight Miami blue is too greenish for my taste. Once Porsche re-released the 718 Spyder with Shark blue I know the time to order a Spyder was now. I love the shark blue color on my Spyder and everybody that comments on my Spyder says the color looks amazing. If shark wasn't available for my Spyder at the time I ordered it I would have gone with Python. I feel like these special edition cars should be in a loud color to stand out more. Just my opinion, personally I could do without Gentian, too dark, looks black in low light.

I had a Miami Blue Targa GTS before my Spyder and IMO it is the best shade of Blue shade on modern Porsches. Shark, VooDoo, Riveria, Mexico. etc. are nice but they are too close to each other and lately, I see a lot of similar shades of Blues on SUVs, trucks, etc.,Miami Blue on the other hand is a unique shade. Nevertheless, I do agree that these cars need a bold color!

A sports car should be yellow, making you smile when you see it, asking you to drive it on a sunny day. Too bad so many people don't realize this.

I'm only somewhat reluctant to order Racing Yellow because it pales (pun intended) against Speed Yellow which is the best Porsche yellow. Porsche, please bring SY back!

Yellow really is a love it or hate colour IMO. There's not a single car in this world I would ever order in yellow, never liked it on any car, dont think I ever will.
