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 ... its way too too GREEN for me, not at all like either Riviera or Mexico.
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.
This is SO true, I looked at the sample under artificial light in the dealership and it looked very much like Riviera, then I went outside and saw a Targa 4S and a Cayman in full direct sunlight ...
Only inside but not too much artificial light. Maybe I am colour blind as my wife is and the salesman. Happy to be in this case
That makes all the difference in the world. If you don't see the car in direct sunlight, it's impossible to judge the color.
First time I saw MB was in a showroom next to a big glass window from the outside. Initial reaction was...wow Mexico or Riviera!
Second time I saw MB was on a car in the parking lot. First, second and last impression was...ew so much green. A lot of that has to do with personal taste of course...I dream of owning a Mexico blue car but I know people who hate Mexico Blue. Point is, lighting makes a big difference on this color moreso than your standard white, yellow, etc.

Two photos of MB. Chalk as a reference. Outside in direct sun reflection and just outside. Colour in trhe first photo is plain. It really pops and is very crispy. Made almost my choice although still need to see GT3 in chalk. The chalk on the other hand lost its beige hue in these conditions. Also a great choice.
P.S. the first photo is just a touch too green as it is in reality. That hue is also seen on chalk. Would say that the true colour is represented by the second photo mostly upper right corner although it gets more dark in less direct sun light.
I was just at the dealer and saw the following colors
- racing yellow
- lava orange
- miami blue
- gt silver
- graphite blue metallic
There were all on caymans and boxsters. My favorite out of the top 5 was for sure GBM. I wanted to check chalk in person but they did not have it in the showroom.
I also saw a carmine red but that was on a macan and cayenne so not a fair comparison.
^ These samples are precisely why it's necessary to see the colors on an actual car in differing light conditions. In this sample, Miami looks similar to both other blues.

I don't know what is wrong with this colour. Saw 911 on a grey cloudy day. Was inhaling it for a good 15 min.
MB was dark and dull. Very turquoise. The car was badly wrapped with clear bra. Maybe that was the reason.
I am back at the wall. Think will go with boring but always classy white.
