The only thing I hated was that it marked so easily. I'm told it had a light grey base coat so any stone chips or light scratches were really obvious. It will be interesting to see it on a Macan in the flesh.
I liked the look of Gentian Blue on the configurator - but not so keen on it after seeing the video. Looks too dark (mind you, it seems to have been filmed near sunset.) Also I had a similar experience regarding stone chips/scratches on a previous dark blue car which really showed up because (goodness knows why) the undercoat was almost white. Much prefer silver cars as they don't show the stone-chips so much. So that's Gentian Blue off the list.

I’m happy with the look of Gentian. I have seen a Gentian blue 992 both inside the showroom and outside and it really does change colour depending on the ambient light. Also interested to see and hear the base Macan. So far as stone chips are concerned I had Carrara White on my Boxster and the undercoat was a dark grey which showed up any stone chips so light colours are not impervious to showing chips.

Gentian Blue is my favourite Porsche Blue, not convinced that the video shows it in its best light,

Seen a Gentian 992 C4S in the flesh, direct sunlight and wow... it was absolutely stunning

I'm looking forward to seeing my vehicle in Gentian Blue.
I had wanted Sapphire Blue for my next Macan until they discontinued it, and I was struggling to decide between Carmine Red, Miami Blue and Dolomite Silver, so was pleased when Gentian was added.

As you should be. It looks fantastic.
