Stunning. Color definitely changes in different lights which is a good thing. More I see GBM the more I like. As a few others have suggested this could become a signature or sought after color in the future. I was wrestling with GBM and GT silver and I went with GT silver (boring!) lol

While we're at it, here's how GB looks against some
high clouds, spring grass, and dandelions.

That one is mine...and the wheels are the "Satin Black" option which give it a sportier look IMO. Combined with the SPASM, PSE, rear wheel steering and 7mt, I couldn't be happier with it.

I've noticed other manufacturers have a very similar color for 2017/18 models including Honda, GM, and Jeep. I wonder how long the run of GBM will be? Reminds me of the Aetna Blue 356 I had which was only 1960/61 and discontinued.

Hope you didn't mind me posting your pic. I just thought your picture showed the color better than mine. My wheels are satin black also, I am absolutely over the top with my color choice.

I have also noticed a few other manufacturers with very similar colors. Might encourage Porsche to go another direction and we could have a pretty rare color but who knows?

I don't mind at all. You obviously have excellent taste in automobiles!

I like it also. If I were ordering a car today, that's probably the color. Porsche's standard choices are too few.

it's a subdued color that looks best broken up by a targa hoop or cabriolet top , imo and I think it's underlying grey/graphite " tone " is best complimented by all dark vs all bright or a mixture of trim

a " downtown LA gentrifying hipster Arts District " Targa for dinner at Bestia :



having said that , the two-tone wheels on this second targa nicely tie together its bright targa hoop with the greyish paint of the car itself ( vs having all-silver wheels) and would look very beach-resorty if it has the graphite blue/chalk two-tone interior !

a " foggy AM/sunny PM Malibu " Targa for dinner at Nobu :
