Yes. Arctic. I looked at both for my last Porsche and went with Arctic as I didn't care for the blue hue that Polar has.

Yes, Arctic which is a brownish silver. Polar is more interesting 🤔

Yep, brown tone for Arctic versus blue tone for Polar.
But color vision isn't the same for everyone.

(But (outside of Porsche Exclusive) that wasn't a factory color available for the 996 Turbo.)

No, and it was dumped again in the latter part of 2017, or early 2018 - as far as I am aware, this is one of, or the only one, like it from 2018/19.
