Thanks for sharing. I've added you to the database. Personally, I think this color is what "shark blue" should have been because when I think of a "blue" shark, I don't think of a bright blue shark. This color is more of what I picture when I hear the name shark blue as it dances between a silverish, light blueish, and light greenish color kind of like how a shark shimmers and shine under water under direct sun.
Awesome choice. Please be sure to share tons of pictures when you get it.
I hate to say this but I am still on the fence about the color (azurro thetys). I haven't seen it in person and worried it isn't different enough from dolomite. My #1 preference would be ice green but not approved at this time. My #2 preference would be Lagoon Green but not approved. Am split between this (azurro thetys) and Oak Green. According to porsche already 30+ orders in for Oak Green on GT3's. Even more on Turbos so it will not be that unique. But Oak really does this car justice.
FWIW, I have a PTS Yachting Blue Macan GTS. I did not spec it. I bought it new out of dealer inventory (back when smoking deals were still available). I like how its unique but the color is a bit meh and dark.
I do believe that the tourings will benefit from a light metallic. Just my opinion but I think the darker colors work better on the winged car with all the black trim.
My #1 wish for Christmas is that Porsche updates the PTS approved list on 12/31 with ice green, ice blue, lagoon green, or etna blue.
Ice and Lagoon Green. If anyone is going to be at a PEC, please take a color of Azurro Thetys so I can compare to this.

Thanks for your awesome work - here's my boring build from the Antipodes if you’re including builds outside of the US
As mentioned previously, it might be nice to have a similarity between pie chart segment colour and paint colour if not too much of a pia
Thanks for sharing. I've added you to the database. Regarding your question of matching the pie chart segment color to the actual color, I've tried doing that and couldn't figure it out so if you or anybody out there knows how to do it with the google docs, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Thank for sharing. I've added you to the database. BTW, your build code shows you have dolomite silver metallic with a color code of F0. You're showing a color of dolomite with a color code of M7P. I changed it to dolomite silver metallic and F0 to match the info from your build code. Please clarify if it should actually be just dolomite and M7P as the color code as I'm not familiar with that PTS color.

Thanks for filling in the blanks. I've updated the spreadsheet. Did Charles and Michelle do your delivery? Great people.
How long do we think it’ll take a May production PTS Touring to arrive in the US? I’ve been told it may take as long as 5 months…sounds a bit excessive. I won’t know any dates for sure until PTS locks in early January, which is when I should be given an ETA. Any insight is appreciated.
