Just Seen Some Colours
Wanted to report that after seeing some Porache colours personally I want to have as many gt3 as many colours they are offered in.
But joking aside I went to see Miami Blue and Chalk in person.
MB is an amazing colour. Full stop.
I believe people with bad comments about this colour have never seen it in person.
There is not a single picture on the Internet that would justice this fantastic paint nor presents it as it looks.
Folks hesitating just pull the trigger! You won't regret.
All that fuzz about green hue domination is utter bs or I am blind. I am on the other hand not so sure I would like to have a colour that can be seen from a hundred miles away. It really pops!
My other option is chalk. The problem was the car in that colour (Panamera) was parked in a corner of the show room and under artificial light exhibited quite a lot of beige. It's not there I was told under natural light and looks straight cement. I need to check it out.
Anyway MB with satin black wheels, yellow calipers and some black decals is going to be a killer.

I have seen Miami in person in/outside and hated it. Much rather have sapphire over Miami. It's just too light of a color with greenish tint, if you happen to see Miami next to voodoo it's really depressing.

I agree in regards to having to see each color in person on the car in the sun/shade/dealer lighting/proximity to another car.
I have seen countless pictures on the internet (as well as the sample frogs) that do not remotely portray the accurate color representation in person.
Finally, after all the objective analysis is done above, in the end it's purely subjective.
Objectively, Miami has green in it, whether you see it or not. Subjectively, you may think it's the best color.

I have a chalk GTS and it definitely looks cement in the light, with yellow lights (parking garages) it will reflect some beige but it's just what it does with that kind of light source.

OP, did you see Miami Blue in the showroom or outside in the sun?
I'm guessing in the showroom because of your comment about the green hue. I liked the color in the showroom, but hated it in the sun mainly because of the amount of green hue. Color is such a personal thing so some people may love it in the showroom and sun, but point is, you definitely need to see it in different lighting to properly judge for yourself.
Haven't seen chalk in person (other than a small paint sample), but I'd imagine it to be very lighting dependent in appearance.

Chalk
I recently ordered a new Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo in chalk. I had a long struggle to decide on the color.
On the configurator, I loved it. In photos and videos, I loved it. When I saw it in person, under artificial lighting, I thought "meh." A little too beige/khaki for my taste.
Then I saw a chalk 911 GTS drive by on the road. WOW! and that made my decision easy. I loved it, so after 6 or 7 white cars in a row, I ordered chalk.
Sometimes you just have to see it in person, in the right setting, to be able to decide.
Now for the waiting...

'15 GT3 (white, of course)
'16 Audi RS7 (also white)
soon... CHALK '18 Panamera Turbo ST
