Darker wheels on Graphite Blue Metallic makes the color look darker. You can almost see the difference as the car behind mine is GBM with the darker wheels. Obviously to each their own, I'm not going to rip on anyones personal color choice however, I will say every time I take the car out I love this color more and more. I get nothing but compliments on how fantastic the color is along with amazement that it changes based on lighting. Brilliant!

GBM is the color I am going for my Turbo S. Wifey even approved the color....I love the fact it is a deceptive color and the car color changes based on the weather outside. It looks very different on clear sunny day vs cloudy day etc.

I would just like to see it paired with darker wheels.
Not mine....but in the sunlight.



A really bad picture of mine on the day I picked it up. Sun was pretty much set by the time I took this photo.

I think it looks way better in fading light/cloudy day than it does in direct sunlight.

Wow... I think you may have just sealed the deal on my next color combination... That is amazing...

I knew dark wheels would do the trick

It almost looks Nardo Grey in that pic.

I love GB and thought they hit a homerun bringing that to market.

You get a lot more blue in that pic of the 718. The blue undertones are definitely there for sure.

Less light = More blue
More light = more grey

If I hadn't gotten night blue metallic, I would have gone with GBM. It still grabs my attention.

I think it looks great. It certainly is welcome relief from the white, silver, gray, black world of California. Not just Porsche, but ALL makes... except for the red Ferraris and of course, the crayon colored Lamborghinis.
