^^ This was my impression as well. I was dead set on graphite blue, until I saw it in person. In certain light it looks great, but most of the time it looks very bland.

I wasn't exactly looking for this color when I got mine...it was a really hard decision. But I must say...I get compliments on the color every single day! Crazy!

Biscay Blue Metallic could be a possible replacement.

Pure speculation? Or informed speculation?

It's gone on the porscheusa.com configurator.

I’m surprised to see Sapphire Blue go. Awesome color.

Graphite Blue was a love it or hate it color. It seems colors like that don't stick around long, for example Nordic Gold and Lime Gold.

Bought my 991.2 in Graphite Blue Metallic. First car I have ever purchased because of the color.

I think this is true of many, many colors and why dealers like to stick to 'safe' colors for spec orders.

(first post here)

I was leaning toward this color. Chalk is my next choice.

This was a color that I wanted to love, but just didn't. I didn't dislike it, it just didn't wow me the way I thought it would in person. So, I went with Agate Gray, which I am confident will never go out of style or out of favor.

Had I spec'd my car myself; I would have never chosen GBM. I bought it because it was the right car, at the right time and price. I get so many compliments by random people wherever I'm parked and I live in an area full of nice cars. The color is really growing on me. My dream 911 has always been white. I may get one someday but this one I find very pleasing!

In the german configurator, you can still spec it. I just tried the Targa and the GTS coupe. The T would not offer this color but I think to remember they had a limited color list from the beginning.
