Graphite "blue?"

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

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.

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?

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 !
