Anyone else noticed Sapphire blue has been removed from the colour list on the configurator?

Is Mahogany a new colour in replacement. I remember it being a Cayenne option but not on the Macan.

Maybe withdrawal of Sapphire Blue is temporary for supply reasons.

Mahogany was around late 2018 when I was ordering.

Did not Rhodium Silver disappear in Summer 2018 before the facelift/ gen2 Car appeared as an option? If Porsche about to replace a colour on a Model year change they do seem to withdraw the colour late in the previous year rather than reorder paint.

My guess would be Gentian Blue might appear as an option for the model year 2022 cars

Curious as two of the Wheel option illustrations are still shown in Sapphire Blue.

I ordered a Macan GTS from Porsche Wilmslow at end of December last year. Wanted Sapphire Blue. Was told by SE at time of ordering that colour not available from April, went for silver instead, delivery expected June 2021. 🤞& holding my breath.

Agree with PMG, Gentian still available with most of the other models in the range. Should bring back Aqua, it falls somewhere between the two shades.
