I actually prefer it over GT Silver - more blue in it vs brown. I have a friend with a ‘16 Cayman GTS in that color and it is stunning.

Sapphire blue is no more...I am sure the next blue they come out with will be gorgeous but I really love my SB!

GT Silver is timeless.

I agree on both counts. Seeing the flat based colors on Tacomas and other brands will instantly date a car to "that time when they were doing the earth tones."

BUT, if you love chalk, ignore everything and everyone else and get it.

LABORED over these two colors right up to the cutoff date. There is no wrong choice. And agree 100% with "get what YOU like/want".

I added CF mirror caps / triangle, pccb, and glass roof, painted skirts and diffuser to complete the look.
I havent second guessed it yet, but felt good to move on from it. Good luck.

Shared a similar experience.. Chalk has to be appreciated in person. Depending on the light/ time of day, the variations in color keeps it interesting as well.
