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.VanB wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 2:35 pm I actually rather like Mamba Green although think it would look better on a 911.

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.VanB wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 2:22 pm Definitely Marmite/Vegemite.

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 undercoatMikeM wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 3:06 pmReally, doubt that?

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!

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.Fairynuff wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 12:43 pm I have a couple of weeks before lockdown. I would have chosen Agate Grey Metalic had that option been available (God knows why it is not available?).
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
