that Gentian really does look good. Excellent choice anyone who went with that
I'm not so sure about the red calipers with the Gentian. Black calipers would suit it better.

Gentian is a pretty colour, it really is but...
It does not IMHO make the Macan particularly special, in fact is does worse, it makes it look like any other blue SUV and somehow "hides" the fact that it is a Porsche?
I think the darker colours in general dont really show the car off at its best actually, but none of them look really bad. I was hoping that Porsche would provide a few more "wow" colours to choose from, may be a metallic red or electric blue (Saphire looked cool) or some pearlescent colours? The python looks amazing but why the price - paint is paint!

+1. I do think Gentian looks especially good with the yellow PCCB calipers! :)

Agree 100. Not a fan of Gentian at all.

I had the dealers Gentian blue out yesterday and in the brief spell of sunshine it looked nice, in the afternoon it looked as dull as the weather 😩

Exactly what I’ve been saying. Looks fantastic in the showroom…. Get it outside and it’s so dull.

Clearly the forum don’t agree with the above, as Gentian is currently leading the colour survey! ;)

Yes yesterday in the gloom it looked almost purple, under showroom lights it looks great, under grey British sky’s it changes colour very strange.

That’s why I ordered Miami. Some may see my taste as questionable 😆
