I'd love to see a non-metallic orange.
Any thoughts on New Colors for 718?
As I spend a copious amount of time on the configurator, I just wonder what the next new color would be on the 718. Personally, I would love to see another metallic color (non-special). And I don't just mean another grayscale color. I'm hoping for something like Papaya Metallic (from the Macan) or the stunning Sapphire Blue back in action. Heck, bring back a classic like Bahama Yellow as well.
They have basically all colors of the rainbow covered. However, outside of Guards Red and Racing Yellow, I'd have to reach into my checkbook for those special colors (and PTS is way too much). I'm biased towards lighter colors as I think they show off the beautiful body lines of the cayman/boxster best.
Let me know what new colors you'd like to see!

Rumour has it it’s stone grey
I'd love to see Forest Green or something comparable, but I know they're not really in fashion. So many good options really, but more blues and reds are also good - they could free up some room by kicking Frozenturd metallic to the curb in a hurry...the only drawback to the 718 T that I can think of is the limited color pallet - I like white, Guards and GT silver; but that's about it. I like Shark and Python, but not for another $2600.
I'm a huge fan of grey! But that's my only option.... Ah well, I can feel all your joy...
I'm with you on the Forest Green and more blue options. Ideally, I would have preferred a darker blue, but not quite as dark as the Midnight Blue that got ditched recently. Something in between that and the Gentian Blue, which I find a bit too strong. A marine blue would be nice. It's a classy colour that is always in fashion. Without the Forest Green and the Marine Blue options I ended up going with Agate Grey ...I'd love to see Forest Green or something comparable, but I know they're not really in fashion.

Does anybody know when we can expect a new color palette? I'm waiting on an allocation, so it would be cool to have more colors to choose from in a couple months.
Greens are making a come back. I would like to see a metallic green like Mamba which recently got retired from the Macan choices to make a showing. Aside from red, medium dark metallic green is a quintessential 2 seater sports car color.
Greens are coming back into fashion however Porsche make a lot of money on the PTS greens such as Forrest, Brewster, Nato, Irish, Olive etc.
There 'may' be new colours for the '23 model year but as last year we only got 2 new colours, I wouldn't expect too much.

This!! I totally forgot about different greens. I just assumed with Python green and AG that they would not go this route. Funny enough, if you click the PTS option on the configurator it shows the car as a British Racing green color.

I think Lava Orange is non-metallic. But the cost...I'd love to see a non-metallic orange.
I always wanted a non-metallic or less shiny British racing green on 718 or 911! This calm green should go well with beige interiors.
I would have paid stupid money for Sapphire Blue Metallic on our current GTS build. Apparantly, PTS is moron money (according to the CEO). Our Gentian Blue GTS will arrive in May, so it's not a total loss

One of our Longhorn PCA members has one of two PTS (non-metallic) Brewster Green 981's (for his car's year) and it is one spectacular looking color. Although I prefer lighter colors, regardless, his car color is fabulous and blows me away every time I see it in direct sun.I always wanted a non-metallic or less shiny British racing green on 718 or 911!

My first 850 Spider was effectively that same color...totally stood out and absolutely loved it!
I never thought the most difficult part of custom order would be choosing a Color. My other Porsche purchases simply required a look through the showroom and picking a car that had the best configuration to suit my needs. How times have changed. My only need was for the Cayman so when a Cayman S allocation came up I grabbed it. I still won’t see the S till June. But picking a Color is a challenge. Who do you try to please, my wife (important), friends, resale or myself. Most will say please yourself first but I like many Color’s so that’s not so hard to do. I guess what I’m saying here is I don’t know if I welcome more choices or not. I am configured for Gentian blue but am considering Shark blue so a lighter metallic blue would further confuse my decision. It’s going to be a long 6 month wait.

Shark Blue was launched for the GT3 and shortly after it was offered on the 718. Seeing as Stone Grey was launched on the GT4 RS, it stands to reason they will open it up for the other 718s come MY23. All speculation of course.I'm curious, where did you hear this? Or is it just a hunch?
1. Yes, Papaya looks great! I would love to see that in future configurator.
2. I would also love to see Graphite Blue Metallic back! This is one of my favorite color, especially paired with lighter color 20 inch wheels.
3. Be cautious with PTS color. They are expensive, I mean really expensive. I know money isn’t a factor anymore when you want something so bad. But to me, it is not worth it. (Not being offensive, personal opinion only)
4. Be cautious with striking colors too. Take racing yellow as an example, they look especially good on models such as GT4/Spyder (even a T model) because it pushes its aggressiveness (I mean exterior design) to another level. But configuring this color on a base cayman does not look great to me (in fact, a bit absurd) . The base 718 is a beautiful yet subtle design and that is a bit too hard to handle the “over-striking” color. Again, this is personal opinion only, no mean to offense anyone. Anyways, I love guard red and racing yellow. They are unique, and they are FREE!
