Pls describe Biscay Blue. The rendering of it on the Cayenne configuration is not very flattering in my option.

May 2016 was the first post in this color thread.

Has gray tones to it, but definitely blue.

How about bringing back Venetian? That might make me have to buy one.

I wonder if they're simplifying the paint line as they start updating tooling for the 992...

As for limited paint stock, don't they just mix these colors as needed? Seems odd that they would premix so much paint before hand.

Biscay reminds me a lot of Venetian Blue, a color from the 1980s that has long been a favorite.

When asked about the 5th(!!) production delay message I’ve received, that was the answer passed to me by my SA, from the PCNA Regional Manager: “Sapphire Blue Metallic is also a likely culprit as it is on order stop after June. PAG could be running into supplier issues for that.”
