To each his own. I assume you can paint to sample also? Or order previous colors?

This one is the exact opposite of the OP color.

I know....I was waiting to get flamed and you 'exposed' me!

Seriously, it is one color that you have to either love or hate. I like the color in the pictures, but you have to see it in person. I bought the MB CLK when it first came out in 1998. From the brochure pics, the 'light blue' color looked great. In person, it had lavendar tones to it. My twin nieces, who were 2 or 3 at the time, called it my 'purple' car. So, never again will I judge a car color from pictures!!!

LIBr (or anyone), do you know more about that very odd looking (to me) pinkish color car?

More questions:
  • Where did you see it?
  • Do you know anything about its history?
  • Was it actually painted that color by the Porsche factory?
  • Do you know what the color is called? (I've never seen anything like it ... which is fine by me.)


The picture looks like it was taken on a showroom floor so presumably it was a used car but did they sell it? If so, how?

A word of caution on the two-tone cream color leathers....

IF you wear a leather belt, FORGET the light leather. If it's a show car, fine. Otherwise the center panels will become embedded with tiny fibers of the leather, and will discolor and show very quickly. It's a bitch to get these stains out - requires major work on the leather.

I saw this on Savannah and on Sand, and it's far worse on this super light cream leather too. No idea why anyone would use that color on the interior if it's being driven.

I don't know anything about it but its a good bet it was a PTS. Here's an article and link. Given this thread it's funny that she had a PTS Pink because she was sick of "boring blue."

Complete article can be read here:

That shade of blue is way to dull, especially on a P car.

It's looks like ruby red. Nice color and limp wristed people generally wouldn't be caught dead in it.

I think this new blue would look sick on the new Cayenne with that new two tone blue interior. Nothing wrong with this picture, I suppose?
