Agate Grey
I was so looking forward to ordering an Agate Grey Macan this year, for me it’s always been the best colour, no contest! It was one less thing for me to contemplate as I peruse the confuserator! But now... they’ve deleted it... damn them!! So now, do I go Volcano Grey... Sapphire Blue (mmmmm)... Dolomite Silver, or do i splash out on Carmine Red? Votes please... I’ll probably go for the 20” Satin Platinum Wheels if that’s any help!!
I was sold on the Agate Grey as well nozydog but they stopped it just before I ordered mine in 2016 - then reintroduced it shortly after I got a Volcano Grey later that year!
All I can say is V Grey with an Agate Grey interior suits me (+ the Good Lady) after spending loads of time visiting various OPC's to view as many colour combinations as possible! Some colours looked good at the dealers - but could I live with them day to day + some looked different in showroom to when seen outside!
I guess only you can really decide what's best for you - but well worth seeing as many options as you can before lock down.
Good luck !

Of course I'm biased but of all the colours you've mentioned I'd go with Carmine Red. It really pops in the sunlight but looks fantastic in dull light as well. Plus you don't see too many SUVs in red so it stands out in a crowd which can be a good thing or not depending on your perspective. By chance I came back to my car in a car park last year to find a Sapphire Blue Macan parked next to me. Might help with your decision

This is true, the Agate has got a beige tint to it. I too was originally set on Agate back in 2016, but Volcano won after I saw Agate in the dull English winter light. The Night blue is also much richer with sparkly speckles under the artificial light or sunlight.

I think there are going to be a lot of new Macan's in Miami over the next year or so. When they made Miami an extra colour for the 718 I must have seen more than a dozen on my travels in a few months. Unless of course the same cars were following me!
