Loved my Sapphire GTS and it got so many comments. Shame it’s no longer available as I would have chosen it again and when I nearly ordered a Gen 2 GTS Sapphire was my automatic choice.

Yes I love my Sapphire GTS too

Of course you can specify it as a PTS paint option with large Porsche tax for the privilege

Nope wouldn’t be paying a silly amount extra for it

Maybe they will bring out a few new colours soon as the range hasn’t changed a lot for a while.

Yeah, sapphire is being replaced by Gentian blue. Would have loved Gentian on our new build, but was obviously told we'd have to wait till end of year before getting the car.

Papaya I assume would be a special colour costing the same as Carmine Red.

When I look at current Panamera colours I find so many very similar, eg mahogany, cherry truffle brown and the special amethyst; and then dolomite and special GT Silver

Gentian is a nice blue but a bit too dark for me. I like the lighter blues like Sapphire and it’s one of the best colours I have had on a car. Shame it’s gone but it has been in the Macan range for a very long time so it’s time for a newer shade.

I'm really disappointed by the removal of Sapphire Blue.
This is the colour I have specified, yet haven't been in a position to order yet.

I'm not keen on the darker blues.
I can't believe that there are less popular colours than Sapphire Blue, so why choose to discontinue this?

On the 911 you can specify Shark Blue, but this costs £2600.

This is Night Blue on a 2018 US model.
Now, this looks quite nice, yet the images on the configurator and others I've seen on a 2020 model look darker.

Has anyone seen a Night Blue in the flesh, if so, does it look like that in the image?
