It varies by region. See what colors dealers are specing in your area. Most popular car colors worldwide are black and white (which one is first varies from year to year).

Avoid Mamba Green, Frozen Berry, Beige and Frozen Blue - marmite colours

Gentian Blue, Volcano Grey, Black, Silver, White (various including Ice Grey) are all safe for resale.

Personally, black then grey (not a fan of white).

Check the UK dealer stock and look at the colour filter to see a profile of popular colours

Interior - two tone black / crayon or black. black / beige is probably safe too. Avoid blueberry (marmite again).

My preference would be the White. What do you think about a Cherry Metallic (as it is a second favorite)with black/aromatic Beige? I'm just anxious about resale but the car has all specs I wanted.

Cherry metallic is ok and nice in bright sunlight. Not a popular colour in UK. There was / is a Turbo (S) for sale but looks ok but spoiled by the body coloured Mission E wheels IMHO. I think it also have the upgrade to Olea leather in a fairly strong colour - again not to everyone's taste and made worse when Neodyme finishers are included.

Carmine Red is not suited to the Taycan IMHO but popular across the Porsche range (only because Guards Red was withdrawn and came back recently with a premium price).

That is the one I'm looking at! I'm a fan of white metallic and cryan interior. Cherry white is my second favourite, but not sure with that interior how would I feel about it. Other problem is it is far away to view. I'm just anxious that after owning it to get bored in a year or 2 and can't sell it to have a white one in place..

Cherry's brilliant ? Gentian was my 2nd favourite.

Monotone's dull.

If you're worried about resale, you're buying the wrong car.

This is from left field, but I saw a Taycan Sportback the other day in Signal Yellow—very bright orange yellow. I don’t even like yellow cars, but this one looked spectacular. Must have been a PTS, so $12k extra :) . You won’t see yourself coming and going.

I chose frozen berry and not a week goes by without comment on how good it looks ( only negative comments I have are from people who have nothing nice to say most of the time about anything) has another forum advised go with the colour you like .
I often like it when people disagree with my choices in life.....

Personally, if I don't like someone else's choices, I tend to keep it to myself as it's really none on my business.

So when people feel a need to spout out about why they don't like my x/y/z - I just think 'great, if an opinionated tw@t like you doesn't like it, I'm on the right track'
?

No doubt something we all get used to driving an EV. So many pricks waiting to tell you why they wouldn't get one.
