Too bad Porsche didn't offer Shark Blue. I did the white on both.

All personal preference but I've always liked yellow tach no matter the exterior color. I think it's a strong Ferrari impression I got early on.
Specced with yellow on my 992 and love it. Looking to do the same with GT3.

I believe it is because of the yellow accents of indexes on the dial. I found the "991" style gauges and their coloring much easier to the eye and I seriously considered getting a red tach for my GT4. In the end, I did not, but it was because I am very "particular" and I did not like the check lights actually become visible as black shapes. However, I think I would be happy even if I chose to go for them. Took Sport Chrono In Guards Red and it was absolutely gorgeous, especially the sunburst finish.

For my 992 Touring, I ordered Guards Red coloring for Sport chrono as well (yes, it is gonna be just the "circle"). But I was sure on tach - in 992 it is very "artisan-istically" made and there's a lot going on already, adding the coloring shifts it to "too much" for me.

Because they are tachy.

For me less is more. I did white SC but left center stock. I did yellow marker on my wheel as I switched to leather & wanted blue threads. So I did CCX

yellow on tach and below shifter works well.

They need more colors IMO, to match stitching options and exterior hues.

I would have considered it if there was a medium blue option

Since I cannot get it via CXX, I am just gonna retrofit the Neodyme Sport Chrono from the Cayenne Turbo GT. Goes along with the interior / exterior scheme.
