Thanks for posting! I hadn't seen this before, but I really like it! Looks particularly good with the platinum Carrera S wheels.

Love it! It's gorgeous. Audi did a similar color called amethyst grey which was a blue/purple/grey metallic mix. I used to have an Audi TT in that color which looked wonderful. Porsche's yachting blue looks similar and is very nice.

Thanks for posting.

This would explain my perceived ambiguity. I'm not a fan of non-colors. But to those who want a neutral feel, this is it. It's not bad looking, I just can't really tell what color it is trying to be.

I think it looks great. I looked at the Pannys for awhile and Yachting Blue was my color of choice. I think it looks great on the 991.

I'm a fan of the paint color, but don't understand why they would opt for the satin wheels but add the aluminum window trim. Also don't quite know why they would not have the extended exterior paint package on a PTS car. I know that adds some $$$$ but would really set this car apart.
