I have a GB Panamera GTS
It's a great color, certainly not conservative.
That being said, if I was going 992 Cab I'd do Shark

Congrats - my allocation (2023 base 992 model) is September manufacture with November delivery - at the moment it is configured Shark Blue and blue top.

I love Shark Blue on a coupe. IMO, I wouldn’t put Shark Blue on a Cabriolet. I know this is subjective, as the rest of my comments here.

Gentian Blue is a beautiful color, but not for a sports car. If you like Python Green, Gentian Blue will be dull for you.

Whatever color you chose, go for contrast. If you choose a blue car, try a different color for the top and interior. For example, a yellow exterior would contrast with a blue top. Shark Blue with a Chalk interior, Chalk exterior with a Bordeaux interior, etc.

Some would argue that Chalk is also a dull color, and that I’m not making sense with my own recommendation. However, I can honestly say that my Chalk 992 Coupe is definitely a head turner. And I don’t even have the Black/Bordeaux interior I would have spec’ed with this exterior color.

as I said… it’s all subjective.

I find it useful to read different opinions in this forum. If we all thought the same, life would be pretty boring. 😉
