Loved my Canyon Red in '97. In daylight it was amazing, not so good in dull light or under the (then) sodium street lights............

That Porsche Picture above makes it look very brown......................
I said the same thing. Seems not many people agreed though.

Since it came out on the Macan i have noticed a lot of cars painted in a similar colour, most of them pretty unpleasant cars.

Like you say, I suspect in bright sunlight it will look amazing. However, we all live in the UK, so…..
Saw a new Dacia Stepaway and a new Renault Captur in a very similar colour today. Seems to be the in-colour currently.

its on the BMW configurator too. But then again so is grey. Papaya/orange/off brown does seem to be a very popular colour just at the moment. Interestingly my son’s MX5 30th Anniversary Edition is VERY bright orange, and its nearly 2 years old. Guess it was ahead of its time.

Any advice would be appreciated, am thinking of Dolomite Silver with Black/Pebble Grey leather interior for my on order Macan S. I do low mileage & infrequent grandsons. I like the look but don't whether depreciation might be adversely affected

Great combination; it will look very bright and light inside and out. Black exterior trim would add contrast too, unless you prefer the chrome look. Specify it to suit your taste, it will not affect the residual value colour combo wise. Loading it with 》+10% of extras will though!

Pebble grey is very nice. I’d go for it in a hearbeat if it wasn’t so pricey.
