Default The Official Gentian Blue Color Thread

I had the idea that we could create specific threads for each color so it will help future buyers to configure their cars instead of searching in existing threads or the internets!

Since I don't have my car I will post the picture that helped me decide on GB.

Feel free to start a specific thread about your color and naming it "xxxxx color" GT4/Spyder thread.

If you dont think it's a good idea then mods please delete!

Road trip through Germany over the bridge used for the configurator background. I wanted this picture.

These cars, in similar colours to GB influenced my choice of GB with dark wheels with red calipers, with the exception of the Dino. The video on YouTube with Dino 246 called violet convinced me that a car that changes colour from blue to purple - depending on light - is pretty cool. Drove the 992 911 with GB paint on a 911 in February at Porsche Winter driving experience and it looked great.

I forgot the source, my apologies, I think it was PistonHeads forums.

Got to see Gentian Blue in person, absolutely stunning color, but can't decide on the wheels at all so these images have helped (I think... still undecided).

What did you get? I have gone back and forth over black vs stock gray.... Just had black on last 2 cars (M4 and 991.2) but does black ever get old?

I too had stock satin platinum before I saw those photos...immediately changed to black wheels. Black wheels with red calipers on GB look so good! (wanted to have something different than my 991.2 but

Ditto. Let the wife talk me into the Aurum. Nothing a set of aftermarket wheels can't fix!
