That's fabulous! I love Nogaro. Let's see some pics of the other 3!

4 Nogaro cars?! You need to expand your color palette a bit. Now sell me that 991! Seriously, I’ve been lusting after your car since I missed out on the Nogaro base 991.2 that sold last year.

Specifically, this car;

Yes! Now we're talking PORSCHE BLUES. I believe that 356 is in the ever stunning and elegant Acquamarin. (I tried to get this color approved but was denied. Someday perhaps.)

Many thanks. I've not seen that shade before.

I've attached a few pics of the others at the bottom of this post. My RS6 was originally my father's car. I convinced him to order it in Nogaro. The B5 S4 is my second and it has been with me since 2007. The C2S was supposed to be a GT4, but I never got an allocation, despite the color being approved. The A4 Avant was purchased to be my daily driver back in 2012.

Too bad you missed out on that car! There was also a nogaro GT3 for sale in the last year, but I needed (and still need) a backseat.

As for expanding my color palette, the wife's car is gray, my 718 is Jet Green, and I have a dark blue (Interlagos) E46 M3. Unless I get denied, I'm getting a new RS6 that will be an all new color.

Thanks for the pics!

I had a Nogaro B5 S4 with the blue alcantara seats. I loved that combo. Also had a Sprint blue B7 RS4, Cobalt blue 997 turbo, Aqua blue 997.2 GT3 RS. Currently have a Monte Carlo blue X5M. I guess I like blue cars too!

My head is spinning from staring at all these shades of blue...light vs dark, bright vs subtle, modern vs classic, metallic vs flat, historic vs not, etc...might just "settle" for birch green

I know I'm replying to a very old thread, but wow... my favorites here would be Oslo and Albert with Golf Blue a close finalist.
I know my Gentian Blue GT4 is a "standard" color, but I fell in love with it. The only slight pause I had was that it is pretty common. If you want to stand out and not run into others of the same color, then PTS Oslo, Albert or Golf would be amazing. But judged on its own merits with no regard to how common or rare it might be, Gentian rises to the top or pretty close for me personally. And there's that $12k savings.

Albert Blue looks pretty close to Gentian. While stunning, you have to ask yourself is it $12k more stunning than GBM. I'm biased I guess, because I went with GBM.
For comparison, some pics from a few days go of my new GBM GT4:

Consider yourself warned... you will spend WAY too much time exploring this Porsche color database:
