Complete opposite from my experience. I am very happy that I ordered Graphite Blue. It is absolutely the first thing that people comment on when I drive my car. Across the board positive responses. I'll be over the moon if they discontinue it. I believe it will be a sought after color in the future.
And my Sapphire too... go head, kill these colors!

With GT Silver now reduced to the same price as Rhodium Silver ($720 option for metallics) they probably looked at which was being ordered more often.
I like Rhodium Silver . . . I looked at a Rhodium Silver car parked next to a GT Silver car out on a dealer's lot in the bright sunshine and the Rhodium Silver looked softer, like the early 356 Porsches. Rhodium Silver has a bluish tint to it compared the GT Silver looking more like a darker base coat under it and much coarser looking metallic. The Rhodium Silver just glows at night under artificial light. Sorry to see it go

RIP graphite blue- it was beautiful, but too subtle for a skittle-color loving guy like me. If I was more subdued, I would have ordered that for sure. Silver, white, black- those colors are for the weak, or old. Having said that, GT silver is very classy.

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.”

I was hoping for some new colors this month, but it seems like it won’t happen until the 992 comes out. PTSRS on instagram has a few PAG test color cars rolling around, the one that looks like murano or Smyrna green is particularly lovely.
