I have a couple of weeks before lockdown. I would have chosen Agate Grey Metalic had that option been available (God knows why it is not available?).

My question is . . . . in your view, which of the below colours would most improve the residual value?

Note: Not which colour you like best, which colour would most improve the residual value

1. Dolomite Silver Metalic
2. Volcano Grey Metalic
3. Night Blue Metalic

I don't think it makes much difference so long as you haven't chosen something outlandish like Mahogany. VG is perennially popular though (although in my view a bit dull and boring!)

Pick the colour you like for you, not the next owner!

I make no bones about the fact that I love Night Blue and think it really suits the Macan. I first saw it at a 991 launch event and it looked fabulous on the car so opted for it on the Macan. Sometimes wish I had opted for it on the 911 but GT Silver is a classic colour and suits the car very well.

Possibly Marmite to some? Have seen it on Cayman, 911 and even a Panamera which looked great in the showroom but in answer to the initial question, non of the colours you identify will make any difference to the residual value. 👍 GMAN, this is growing on me and I dont like Marmite 😉

That, I think, is the mutt's nuts. I don't care what anyone thinks. This on any Porsche, properly offset by the black accents is the business. Mike, go for Vegemite, not Marmite! You're welcome again! :lol:

Definitely Marmite/Vegemite. Absolutely horrible and looks like undercoat. I believe, however, that it's becoming quite popular although Lord knows why. There is also a battleship grey I've seen on a few cars which is also horrible.

These colours will definitely restrict the resale market.
