Why isn’t anyone getting colored tach and chrono?

If Porsche offered Shark Blue tach/chrono as an option I'd spec it 100% (surprised they don't, it's an easy money grab considering so many cars will be specced in shark blue), otherwise I don't think the other colors match well so stock is fine.
I'm torn between shark blue accented interior bits and the regular black brushed aluminum. Thoughts? Anyone have any real life pics with the blue interior accents?

Worth noting that people have been complaining about readability on the other forums.
The default script color is Yellow on the GT3... I would avoid the Yellow tach:

Now I am really confused. Reading some of the posts from the link above, it would seem that at night, the numbers turn white and get lost in the white background. However, other posts indicate that the white dial goes dark at night when the ambient light is gone and is only that way for about 30 minutes at dawn/dusk. Can anyone confirm this? Conversely, during the day if the headlights are on, would the numbers go white and get washed out in the white tach?

I went with Yellow on my GT3 tach, and deleted the Chrono. In the configurator (at least) the sport chrono with 'colored ring' looks way to overbearing for me. But I'm sure it still looks good in person, just wasn't my personal taste this round.

I honestly think the new gen. chrono clock is a step backwards aesthetically and so is the gauge cluster. That is probably the reason for the low take rate.
Also, since the whole gauge is now not colored, just a part off it, it doesn't look as complete.
I know Porsche is going more for luxury with the 992, but aesthetically, I think the whole new layout is a step backwards. from the 991.
