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!

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.
