Fully agreed.

Now realizing the first 991.2 I drove was Graphite Blue Metallic, and that I don't think I've seen a GBM 991.2 (or 991.2 generation in general) I didn't like. While the first factory images of the 991.2 featured a Guards Red C2S (iirc), GBM was arguably the "communication color" for this generation of the 911. It was also a relative bargain at $700, because it reads as PTS.

I really had my heart set on chalk white and been looking for quite some time. But when I saw this and ticked off all the boxes in terms of options I was sold. Had it PPI and flew to the west coast to pick it up and drove her home with the wife on an epic journey back across the country to Toronto. The colour grew on me and glad I bought it. Like others have suggested it looks different depending on the lighting. Below is pic with the Rocky Mountains in the background.

I see you have the aluminum window trim (as I do), it accents the classic lines of the windows.
I think black trim also looks good for more of a motorsport look.
The aluminum trim creates more of a classic look especially with this colour.
I fell in love with it instantly.

yeah, I'm searching for a 991.2 manual, and i have to say GBM is my first color choice.

Loved the one that was recently on the renn classifiieds... was gorgeous but was a PDK. It moved to PCARmarket and i think the seller did pretty well!

It’s a great color and pretty rare - 12 months on the 911.2
I get a lot of positive comments- especially in the porsche community around here!

Great color. I have been looking at the dark blue metallic but might like this one better now.
