What are people's thoughts on biscay blue? I had been thinking moonlight blue metallic over truffle/cohiba brown for my S build, but now I'm not sure. Can't decide if I love or hate biscay blue.
Is there any news on whether more colors will be added?
I don't think there any other newer colors come in. They ordered the biscay blue for my turbo and I'm very excited for it. All the other colors or just boring to me.

That’s the color combo my wife chose for her Turbo. Dark and elegant, but not particularly sporty.
Personally, the more photos of Biscay Blue I see, the better I like it — particularly in bright sunlight. But I do think it’ll be a love it or hate it color as you said.
Moonlight Blue is a far, distant second to Chalk in our book. What an awesome, unique, aggressive color. And of course we can’t get it on the Cayenne. It would look fantastic with the trim blacked out as on this Panamera.

This sums up my dilemma. Dark and elegant is my first instinct. But will I get bored with it after a year? On the other hand, Biscay Blue is the opposite of boring but I don't want to end up despising it after the initial thrill wears off. When I first saw graphite blue metallic a couple years ago I was blown away, but now I cringe every time I see it (doesn't help that I see it everywhere here in socal).
Chalk would be nice. Or just a larger palette in general to choose from.
Evan, those sunny-day Biscay Blue photos look sharp. It really is a cool, unique color.
Re: Moonlight Blue, it’s hard to find any great photos of the Cayenne in MB for some reason. Lots of shots of it all filthied up, or in bad light. A few of the better Moonlight Blue photos we’ve seen are attached, all Audis. But you get the idea.

I agree: Porsche needs a bigger Cayenne palette.
I was surprised to hear more than a few people refer to the color as the "new Mahogany" that day, implying that it's a color that nobody would order. It might be a little too muted for many, but I found it modern and classy--and I'm a relatively young buyer whose favorite recent Porsche colors are Carmine Red and Sapphire Blue (RIP). It's perfect for a buyer who wants something in between silver and charcoal and is willing to accept a little teal.
Moonlight seems to require light window trim and wheels, in which case it looks really good. But I've never been a fan of dark blue and black together (the internet seems to make me believe I'm in the minority on that front; lots of MB/DBM cars with black wheels on google image).
I was thinking of Biscay Blue but I think it looks best in bright sunlight. In the shade or overcast days, the pictures look dull gray - in New England this could be the most common way I will see the car. Went with Carrera White.

That’s the cool thing about color — it’s the eye of the beholder. One person’s nauseating Lizard Green is another’s pride and joy.
We went with black trim, door handles, mirrors and roof rails on our MB Turbo. My wife wants the Spyder wheels painted a light bronze tint to highlight the Truffle / Cohiba interior. Something like below, but add the Black Sport Exhaust. Will it work? I have no idea. It’s a Porsche, so it’ll still be incredible to drive even if the color combo isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. Our SA has told us that 40 percent of Cayennes are black. Forty more are white. If you want to stand out, it’s not hard.
Re: mahogany, I like it. She did not. Cool pic of previous Turbo S with matching mahogany wheels below.
Still like your Biscay Blue. Couldn’t sell her on it.
I was the opposite. Saw in online and loved it and then saw it at Amelia Island and at dealer demo day and hated it. Thought it was probably ugliest Porsche color in their palette.
