For a different, sporty look, it would not be bad in that color with 2 flat black rally stripes down the center, a duck tail and flat black "fuch" style wheels.

Throw some dayglo red stripes and stp on the hood and, It would still be a funky Porsche color.

That blue is beautiful and as above, even more stunning with a set of the new 19 inch Fuchs wheels. After all these years I have learned that Porsche will not paint a 911 a color that doesn't "fit".

I'm on the fence on buying this color . I would rather have silver,white,black but it's rare and the 911 it's on is a 2012 911 4gts

Will this color help or hurt the value of what I believe will be a collector car in the future

Would you not buy the car becouse of this color

It's going to be one of those things where you will have to find that certain buyer who wants it and therefor will hurt the resale value overall IMO. However if you love it and it makes you happy then I would say that is more important. Many people say no one wants a green Porsche but I happen to love some of the green exterior options. Each to his own.
