Well, for me, with that thought in mind, it's Jet black. Just add a nice interior or even just something simple like the gold interior accent on black leather.

I think the OLEA Atacama beige looks great against Jet black. But no gold bits please.
I don’t have the patience to configurate and order :) so I can choose a stock model black, volcano, silver or crayon.

when I walk on the parking space of the porsche garage, I’m attracted to the brighter colors. But the crayon is scarying me because of the beige effect..

Surely you can spend 30 mins choosing the right car at this price.

Same problem was here! One week no sleep. Yesterday visited dealer to see ice grey, volcano and crayon close and together. My choice crayon with brumble interior and neodyme.

Crayon looks awesome in showroom lights. Outside and in the sun it’s too beige/dirty for me.

I have had monochrome "coloured" cars and interiors for many years and I am bored with them. Surprisingly few manufacturers offer many real colours these days and most interiors are black or grey.
My favourite colour is green so Mamba it was for me.
The interior is far more important (that is the bit I am looking at and I am too old to bother what other people think so the exterior was the easy choice).
I didn't want black or grey, obviously and the 2-tones were interesting until I looked on the configurator and they are basically all black with coloured seat facings and a bit of trim except the black/chalk beige so that was my first choice, it will be the coolest and airiest too.
My total boredom of black interiors made the blackberry and Truffle attractive, not even the steering wheel or dash top are black.
The brown looks a bit old fashioned but the "Deep purple" of the blackberry with the green reminds me of the Hugo Boss marketing stuff we had back in the '80s and I rather like it with Neodyme accents.
So I have completely specced everything about mine now and am still flipping between beige, probably the coolest and lightest, blackberry because I love green and purple or Truffle for the super soft leather.
I am going to try to get a feel for the difference between standard leather and olea to see if it seems worthwhile to me, but "Deep Purple" is looking favourite atm!

Crayon looks always great. I'm very happy with my choice ? But luckily Porsche has a color for every taste ?

Looks nice with the mission e wheels! But do you like the color also in sunlight? Not too beige?

Yes, I do. It's not too beige for me. I love the different shades of crayon. But I understand that it's not for everyone.

Hi,
I’m really in panic now. I have ordered a taycan stockmodel in the color crayon. I doubted very long with volcano and dolomite silver, which are safer choices.
I have always had black cars so a lighter color is exciting, but today I saw a panamera in crayon in the sun and I was dissapointed.

what to do? Keep this order? Or volcano or dolomite? Will I faster get tired of crayon then with another color?

I would recommend crayon. I've had mine 10 months now and covers the winter dirt marks fantastic.
It looks great when clean.. my view it's the best colour all day long

I have never understood asking people on the Forum what color car should I get? Most likely the answer you receive is get the color I drive. Red people say Red is the best color. Blue say Blue etc etc. Go with the color you like. It doesn’t matter what I think or what Joe Smith thinks. What color would give you a smile every morning when you get into your car. Probably any Taycan color.

It's my first Porsche, I'm afraid to don't get all out of it with the wrong color :) Volcano grey is safe and not too remarkable, what I think is important too. I like brighter colors more with the taycan because it shows the lines of the car more, but that's more remarkable... So that's make the choice difficult :)

A safe and bright color is Carrara White and it represents the Mission E look best. If you don't like experiments go with Carrara if it needs to be bright.
