Looks like the count seems to be in favor of GT Silver. On my build will be PDK. Since mine will be more GT oriented will also have the aluminum window trim.

Gentian Blue is too dark.

I'd opt for Jet Black Metallic.

Gentian is a beautiful color. And I was totally convinced I was going to get that w spyder wheels. And then this popped up and well. The rest is history.

I vote GB with Black/Bord interior (that’s what I have coming to me in T-Minus 18 days).

I think what makes GB really pop is the wheel choice. I went with RS Spyder because too much aluminum accents on a darker color draws you away from the color.

And I’m not concerned about GB looking too dark as I live in sunny AZ!

Wow, I actually thought about this color combo, but wasn’t sure if it was too wild. Be great if you could share some pics when the car arrives!

My 991.2 TTS was GT Silver with black/bordeaux interior. Classic colour and a great combo!
This time I went with GB and black w/ graphite blue inserts and could not be happier with the outcome.
I was pleasantly surprised how much purple reflects when hit with the low afternoon sun.
If purple offends your eye, steer clear of GB.

I am partial to GT Silver as it is such a classic and timeless color but Gentian Blue is one of my current favorite colors. It looks amazing in pictures and even better in-person. It has such amazingly vivid depth, almost pearlescent in nature. It really pops. So much better than Sapphire Blue, which I am also a HUGE fan of. In this case, there really is no wrong choice.

All these comments are now putting me back into my dilemma. GT silver is such a classic but at the same time Gentian Blue is so striking. May have to compare the two side by side in person before making my decision.

Do the side by side if at all possible. I was in the same boat deciding between GT silver, Gentian Blue, and Midnight Blue - was able to see all three side by side at the (very large) dealership north of Chicago. VERY helpful. Ended up going with GT silver. No regrets, but no bad choices.

There really is absolutely no bad choice of color on the 992. I went with Dolomite Silver to have something just a bit different, but loved 10 other colors on this car that also looked great, and I like how so many of them (mine included) look different at different times of the day (or night).
