Gentian Blue ext. with Bordeaux Red int. ???

Hi all,
New to Porsche world. just put my order for Macan S 2022 with delivery date estimated in April 2022. Still have one week for closing/confirming the order's spec. Wondering if Gentian Blue Exterior goes well with Extended leather in Black and Bordeaux Red interior!!.. picture below ..

I noticed that GB has a slightly purple hues! does that goes well/nice with the Extended leather in Bordeaux Red??
Also, I have seen the GB color on 911 but haven't seen it on larger cars !! what do you think? too much flashy exterior? too much Red interior? I'M VERY CONFUSED!

Thanks ..

pic from Porsche site. I believe color is a bit different in reality.

Fabulous combination
Very Italian
I have a Ferrari 360 Modena in TDF blue/Bordeaux.
IMO your Macan would be stunning

I like it, but remember the Man of Steel, especially If you get yellow seatbelts.

Can't decide between these 2 - both with full bordeaux interior.

Personal choice, though we have the chalk. Bordeaux should go nicely with either.

Chalk will be easier to keep clean. EDIT: We went straight from dealer pickup to a local ceramic detailer. Helps even more keep clean.

I have found, the last 51 years, that I can have any Porsche I like, with as many options as I like, if she gets to choose the color. Been right every time.

It is a lovely color combination. Personally I like the night blue which doesn't have any purple hues along with the red interior. The Bordeaux red is darker and much nicer than the garnet red which IMO is ghastly.

Just got a call from my SA that he got me a GTS allocation. As of right now, my build code I turned in is Gentian over Bordeaux.

If/when I get an allocation, I’m ordering mine in Chalk & Bordeaux red. I think Gentian blue is a cool color. I just like the different shades of gray.

When I read it. it sounded terrible.... then I saw the pictures.... its really nice! I have a dislike for black interiors after years of them. So its nice to see something different. Its going to feel special getting in and out of that car!
