What color is this Taycan?

[groatzky]

This doesn't look like any of the standard colors available in the car builder, but colors aren't always rendered well there.

I think Frozen Blue Metallic. The configurator doesn't render if faithfully.

Id also say frozen blue, it can look a bit flat in some pictures

Shades Green.

I think that’s known as ‘invalid blue’ where I come from.

Shades Green.

This is what I was thinking, but it looks greener in the pictures of the one that was recently shown in some marketing footage.

It's defo Shades.

Very odd colour IMO.

Hmm... wish I could have seen it before placing my order. I would have picked the color in the Facebook post, but not the one in the marketing shoot.

My wife refers to that colour as undercoat. We both love Carmine red.

The natural lighting conditions are widely different between the 2 photo locations- bright sun at a low angle emphasising the green in Shade Green versus a dull overcast Scotland (diffuse light creating minimal shadow) really muting the green component.
I'm guessing you're more likely to experience sunny conditions than does Scotland.

My 2 cents is Ice Grey Metallic - Shades Green looks green (a shade off, who knew??) in all photos I've seen.

Definitely not Frozen Blue (it is demonstrably blue and is awful).

If you look at the Edinburgh Porsche inventory online, you can see the slightly used Shades Green Taycan sedan with the Sport Aero wheels in stock.

Shade Green is also the only non greyscale/silver option for the 911 Dakar (other than the Rothmans-alike rally special paint job).
(IMO anything that resists assimilation in the sea of greys is a good thing)

Good find! It's crazy how in the listing on their website the color looks so different from picture to picture. The straight front view looks very green. Picture right below that, much less green.
