Default 997.2 colors

Since all of you know I am shopping for a new car, I thought I'd ask about colors. I have noticed some really new colors for the Panamera, i.e., dark blue metallic, green metallic, mahogany metallic, etc. Does anyone know if Porsche will offer new colors for 2010 on the 997? If I had to, I would love to see that dark blue, so I could special order it for the 997. I am hoping they would offer it as a metallic color or a special color so I don't have to do paint to sample!
I know what options I want, but now it's the color!!!!

Do you not like the current Midnite blue metallic?

DRJMK,

I was at a PCA event earlier today, run into a slate gray 996TT. It was exactly the color you are describing, different shades under different light condition, and pretty much the same tones you are looking for. I really liked it! but I'm not sure if it's available as std color on tany 997 or you need to do PTS.

Mehmet

I've seen the slate in person this week with natural grey interior. Very nice!

I love the aqua on the coupe! The launch cab has it and I think I would get too bored with it. Thanks!

I seriously doubt that Porsche will adjust their color lineup before the 991 is introduced in 2012 MY.
