Ice grey is a great color which really needs to be seen in person. I picked this up last week on a partly cloudy day and I'm very happy with the color. My last two cars were white and wanted something a little different.

indeed, that was my car! Thank you so much for the nice words! It’s my first new car, and first Porsche (well I drove an ‘85 944 back in HS in 2001 but it was my dads hah). It’s been a lifelong dream, truly, and speccing a new 911 is an amazing blessing but also SO stressful as it may be the only time in my life I get to do it - pressure was on to get it right!

anyways, aside from pics of the GT3 RS, there were 0 992s with ice grey metallic online at the time, brand new option, so I hope anyone in my position that’s on the fence goes for it. It was a huge leap of faith but hearing Andreas Preuninger talk about how beautiful the color was in his Top Gear interview, I felt like he has seen every color on a Porsche and knows a thing or two. Glad I did.

One more thing... in the configurator the color looks more like Dolomite Silver (maybe they reused the same graphics when they removed that colorway)... it doesn't look like that at all in reality (in my opinion)

Just took delivery of my Ice Grey Metallic Taycan 4S and love it especially with the double bubble painted roof!

Several shots of Ice Gray, under fluorescent lights vs direct sunlight. A spectacular color.

Yes, blue ish tint is correct:

It is completely different than dolomite silver, you can see it on this picture - in front Ice Grey Metallic, in the back Dolomite Silver Metallic:


The silver with blue ish tint was Rhodium Silver on the Panamera, not available any more.

Took this picture of a sample next to my GT silver if anyone needs it. I think it’s a great color it does look a lot like ice.

I think the biggest issue with the color is that the online configurator is the most off of any color I've seen. The difference between GT silver and IGM online looks like nothing but it's actually much different.

I have an Ice Grey Metallic with Black/Cognac Targa coming. Are you happy with this choice. Can you share some additional photos please?
