These colours will definitely restrict the resale market.
I also advocate Mamba Green. Don't be hating... :lol:

I actually rather like Mamba Green although think it would look better on a 911.

Not hating just expressing what I consider to be a valid opinion. You may not feel that it's valid but that's the beauty of a forum like this - we are all different with different tastes and we all get to see what others see as important, tasteful or not and this helps us make decisions. Yes there are a few, inflammatory, bombastic and antagonistic posters but fortunately in a tiny minority unlike some other fora!

All opinions welcome. Bigotry, racism, personal insults etc. most definitely not welcome.

Sir, with a word like fora, properly taking advantage of the Latin plural of forum, I doff my hat.

Really, doubt that? Grey in any shade is the new Black but definitely with you on the Mamba Green 💩😖. Unfortunately charts such as below do not identify with the many "shades of grey" 😊 Or any other colour but can't say I have ever seen a beige, bronze or brown car that I would want to live with.

What is Crayon and how does it fit into this chart? It is simply vile and doesn't belong on any car, anywhere! Closest is beige but that is doing beige a disservice and Porsche charge a premium for this puke-worthy undercoat :o

The battleship grey they have isn't much better and I get that grey is the new black but if I wanted my Porsche to look like a tank I would have bought a tank which would probably have been less expensive in any case!

My question is . . . . in your view, which of the below colours would most improve the residual value?

Note: Not which colour you like best, which colour would most improve the residual value

1. Dolomite Silver Metalic
2. Volcano Grey Metalic
3. Night Blue Metalic
1. As this a new shade of silver for the Macan 2. Previously it was Rhodium silver on the original Macan. So Dolomite might help the residual value on the new .2 version.

Only because it's a 911 with PCCBs which you hanker after.

IMO someone needs to paint the car as they obviously stopped at the undercoat phase!
