Fashion gray looks similarly almond in the bright sun.

👍 Agreed
Got to hand it to PAG, they underwhelm with their standard and "special" colors. Then you are forced to play and PAY 13k for PTS color that should be standard color like Ford offers.

I was finally ready to make big compromises to justify paying the premium, but this really has me second guessing. Looks like GR is back to number one. I need to see this in person.

Or maybe their German designers just have horrible taste in colors.

I think it is funny how tastes vary so much when it comes to color.

I love this color and if I get an allocation, it will be this color.

On the other hand I am a minority that thinks the over played blues and greens that Porsche charges $12K for is a rip off and if those were free colors I would not choose any of them. Oh yeah and don't even get me started on UV or Ruby Star. Both colors should be on a Gremlin or Pacer, not a Porsche.

Different strokes they say.

Agreed color is subjective
but
Standard color offerings from PAG are bland IMHO and repetitive as a matter of fact . Several shades of gray, black and white account for the majority of the standard pallet. I do not see the popular blues/greens offered anytime soon unless PTS option.
Why do we need two different blacks and whites offered ?

** Thanks for these... now glad I didn't choose as I was pretty close there for a while. Other reason was when wandering around the the colour frog, at no point was there a "wow" moment where I felt I really liked it. Least with MB or some of the others, there is some circumstances where they grab your attention at least.

** is for fact I haven't seen on proper car so the above opinion tempered accordingly.

Maybe ‘Almond Milk’ would have been a better color name?
