Great thread! This was my color choice right up until I saw in spring 2021 that it was being discontinued in Nov 2021. So then I talked myself into spending $11k for PTS Oak Green, only for PTS to be canceled - supposedly for the rest of MY23. Anyway now I'm stuck with Gentian Blue and in my opinion Night Blue is way better.

I can double down on that challenge - Here’s my 2020 C2S *and* my 1993 968 in the same color (I ordered the 911 in blue but happened upon the 968)

It would have been a hard choice if Night Blue was not PTS when I ordered my car in July 2022. I went with the Gentian instead. I had a BMW Carbon Black 5 series before this car and wanted a lighter shade of blue. Ideal PTS would be Gulf Blue having grew up in Pittsburgh (home of Gulf Oil) and big fan of 917 Gulf livery cars.

Surely there can't be only one?!

I love NBM. Was aiming for that color when they made it PTS.

Beautiful cars.

Dark Blue Metallic was available around then. They're quite similar but I see a little more purple in DBM. (My 981 is DBM.)

(This was in response to 3rdpedal's post - I somehow didn't include the quote.)

I love this color. I had a 1995 993 in a similar color. I think they called it midnight blue.

Gorgeous color. I wish gentian was dropped rather than NBM.
