New Porsche Colours - Rhodium Silver and Sapphire Blue ?

[Koln-RS]

Yes, I'd also be keen to see these new colours compared like that - perhaps in higher resolution.

Porsche blues are a bit 'marmite' and, I'm told, can 'date' a car, but Sapphire does look nice - much lighter and sportier than Aqua and Cobalt.

[Koln-RS]

Is this Sapphire Blue?

It might be, but the configurator is very mis leading on colour.

Here are some fresh pictures.

Below is Aqua Blue on the left and the new Sapphire Blue on the right.



Below is Platinum Silver on the left and Rhodium Silver on the right. I don't think the light was right but I'll try take some more shots tomorrow for you of this pair

Craig - any chance you could throw GT Silver into that comparo?

Sorry didn't see your post until I got home. I will re-take with GT Silver included tomorrow!

That's interesting - Rhodium Silver (on the configurator and the picture above) looks quite a flat, white silver - without the usual 'metallic' effect you normally associate with silvers.

Aqua looks a much better colour!

It would be nice to see them in natural light

Still, I think the best colour is the free one!

Actually it sounds just like one of the Porsche tractors at last years PCGB festival.

In my opinion Rhodium has a hint of blue similar to that of Polar Silver.

Thanks Porschecraig.

Yes it would be good to see three silvers, and three blues in daylight for comparison.

Strangely enough it sounds very much like a GT3 - odd that!!!!!

As requested. Here we have the 3 colours in better natural day light. On the left we have Platinum Silver followed by GT Silver in the middle and finally on the right Rhodium Silver.

The colour was achieved by our local paint shop contacting the area manager of the paint manufacturer who then contacted his head office in Germany to obtain the colour mix codes and passed back down the line!!

[BMCG]

Ty TY Thank YOU!

Much appreciated.

Sapphire looks amazing! I think would be my choice if I was ordering now

Does anyone know which silver is on the 991 GT3 that Chris Harris just tested (link to article posted below)? It looks fantastic. Is it Rhodium or GT Silver?
