That's very cool, and it's unique!!!

Just picked up a Yachting Blue Metallic 2017 GTS. I will post better pictures after the ceramic pro and ppf are added.

It looks more gray than blue in the first two and more blue than gray in the second two. In reality, it is probably somewhere between the two colors.

Sorry, now with pictures.

My goodness, SEG, that is one gorgeous car!

Congrats thanks for posting.

Thanks so much for posting the photos of your YB PTS. Now that I found out Venetian blue is not approved, YB is the closest choice on the list. That color looks fantastic and works so well with the black accents. What color is your interior?

SEG

Many thanks. Black with alcantara and the silver GTS package. It looks great. If I had to do it again, I might have left the alcantara off of the steering wheel but no regrets.

I thought the same thing. Especially the pic of the rear deck.
Very, very nice.

YBM looks great. It's close to what graphite blue metallic should have been.

I predict Graphite Blue will continue to be under appreciated until it is no longer available. I was perfectly happy with my DBM Boxster GTS until I wandered into the showroom right after the 991.2 was released. One of their first cars was GB and I got "the itch". Ending up with Viper Green was a detour, but Graphite Blue got the ball rolling.
I did love my Venetian G50 though.

When I first became aware of the availability of GBM, I was really anxious to order it for my yet to be optioned C4. (at the time you personally even clarified a question that I had about how it compared to a classic Porsche color, whose name I have forgotten). When I saw it on a panel and later on an actual car, I appreciated that it was an unusual and polarizing color, but I was disappointed. It wasn't rich enough or deep enough to my eyes. It just barely missed my (subjective) mark. I was hoping for a richer grey/blue, which is what YBM seems like in the pictures provided. No offense to the GBM owners. I can see the appeal of the color, but it just wasn't my taste.
I'll defer to your expertise however.

No, everyone is entitled to their opinion of a color!
'Yachting Blue Metallic' was originally a Panamera
hue that it's now available on a 991 via PTS:



But my point in placing a on your post was to understand
your thinking. I believe 'Graphite Blue Metallic' is a very
interesting offering from Porsche because it's the only
metallic in regular offering that looks like a solid/uni color
from a distance! And I have been pretty impressed with
it since I first saw it (pre-introduction in the .2 991 & 718)
at Porsche Leipzig & reported here on Rennlist (the first
report of it in the internet) back in July of 2015!

YBM is gorgeous. Looks like a bluer version of one of my all-time favs - Atlas Grey (997 era)
