I think it's my favorite color so far. The only thing I'm not hot on is the (minuscule) color difference between the taillights and the paint. I like for the tails to 'pop-out' as opposed to be camouflaged. Maybe Porsche will end up having another Clear Tail option?

Still the best color I've seen on it.

yeah! clear taillights would look cool, cause the reflector bar is separate on the 991 anyway.
tinted ones with black Porsche lettering would look hot too.

Stunning color.. I also like the way the car has been 'de-badged' at the back. Very clean look.

I think it looks great in that setting which is overcast sunlight amongst city buildings .
I don't think it would look the same in bright florida or california sunlight.
I also think that a car's exterior ought to contrast with the owner's complexion and hair color . I like to at least sit in a car that I feel matches me.. much like any article of clothing.
Red just doesn't suit me .. never has.

Hmm...Interesting little post. I never thought of contrasting with the owner's complexion, but it makes a lot of sense. The Californian sun has made me tan, which I would guess is why people intuitively say that a white 911 looks very sharp around me. I make look the car good .

NOt my favorite for a sports car but it does give it a very rich look and I can see why other would like it. I like bright colors on the new 991 myself.

it looks good but the lack of contrast with taillights is bugging me too...i really like the dark blue color that porsche has for the file photos on their website

Funny how colors can look good depending on coupe or cab. That color looks great on cab's...not enough "edge" for a coupe.
