yachting blue remorse

I ordered my white car with yachting blue. The porsche website shows a very dark navy blue, however, I came across this picture today which I do not like AT ALL. It looks far lighter than the website. Has anyone seen Yachting blue in person?

Don't panic just yet. I am pretty sure that color is offered for the panamera. Do a search on google and I think you will be calmed a bit. Good luck

Panamera shows "yachting blue" as well. I will do another build if that is how it looks.

That picture is washing out the color. Yachting blue looks much darker than that in person.

Yachting Bllue is a very rich color indeed - It's great. I've only seen it on a dash of a Panamera where the rest of the interior was creme and it was the prettiest combo I've seen.

I initially ordered yachting blue interior with my GR but after all the negative feedback I got from a porsche forum I quickly changed it to black. The view was that about the only color blue would go with is white.This color is available on panamera and I saw a sample piece at dealer which looked a lot darker than this pic where the flash may have caused it to so appear. It's actually like a navy blue.

I'm going with an over exposed image as well. Think about all the black interior images you see that look charcoal.

It will more then likely look as you imagine. Stick with it, I'm sure you'll be happy upon delivery.

I think it's going to look great on your white car. It's a beautiful color combo that will make your car stand out of the crowd.

Yachting blue is gorgeous, and the white/blue combination will drip with class. You won't hate yourself once you see the car.

Thanks guys, I will come in off the ledge. I agree about the only color Yachting blue goes with is white. I definitely would not consider it on a gray car. My last three cars have had black interior so I am ready for a change.

It's a common combo for the Panamera. There is one in the area for sale for about 6 months, they already dropped the price about 15k from start and it wont go away...
I'm not a big fan of it, having seeing it in person. Particularly that steering wheel...

Resale is a problem with blue interiors.

I totally understand. Have you considered biege? It's an excellent and classic interior.

+ 1.
Not a fan of Porsche blue interiors, maybe if the dash and steering wheel were black.
I wouldnt go against the flow in such an expensive car, Imo if you want to be unique, red and expresso are the perfect colors to go with, blue looks odd and its boring too.
If you want to stick with a free color, I would do beige in a white car, only if black was not an option.
