Without seeing two of the three green shades I have decided on the Mystic Green Metallic because Porsche seems to be showing it a lot so they must think it is nice. I know Oak Green is nice but it only one shade darker than my Mini hot rod so I'm looking for some change. I also have a silver Boxster and just got rid of a Blue Rivian truck.

I do like the Madeira Gold but I don't have the stones to order one sight unseen.
check out Oak Green pictures here: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/2025-s-t-green-oak-god-i-love-this-color.32774/

highly recommend this color

Looks lighter than the Porsche configurator. Complicating matters even more for me.

I'm on my 4th color choice. I'm not counting the times I have backslid. Thirty days to go until order lock :headbang:

Same. It's a struggle. I was in the showroom yesterday and there were several vehicles painted in Vanadium. Now i'm considering that too :CWL:

The Monteverde actually looks good. Olive, sophisticated shade.

I waffle between Monteverde and Mystic Green about three times per day! Not a single paint sample to be seen in my area much less vehicles :mad:

😆

Stages of ordering a Cayenne EV:

1. Open configurator and Youtube "just to browse"
2. 3 hours later I'm comparing Vanadium Grey at sunrise vs overcast
3. Wife asks if you're coming to bed
4. "One sec, I need to see how Monteverde looks in daylight"
5. Wife leaves you
6. More screen time for the configurator

We’re all the same 😄

I spent hours on that famous Vanadium Grey… depending on the photos, it looked green, then blue, then grey. A real chameleon. My wife couldn’t take it anymore, watching me compare screenshots at 11pm…

In the end, we went to the dealership to see a 992 Phase 2 in that color. And there, no more doubts: that was the one. Approved in 10 seconds by my wife (which, let’s be honest, is worth more than all the configurators in the world).

After two black Porsches, I really wanted a change. And clearly, none of the other colors gave me that same feeling.

Only small regret: I would have loved a more advanced customization service… but honestly, given how much I was already hesitating, I’m not sure my marriage would have survived it 😅

Has anyone managed to find an image of the cayenne in Napali Blue?
I am on default black at the moment as none of the others colours are jumping out at me. Despite the usual challenges of keeping a black car, the real life shots of the Chromite Black in the wild look good.

I have owned three black vehicles. All looked great when they were new. All took an inordinate amount of time to maintain their showroom pristine look, even on my last sports car which was both PPF’s (XPEL) and professionally ceramic coated. I would rather drive than clean. So while I admire and lust after others’ black cars that are keep “perfect” there will not be another one for me

That is exactly my dilemma. I’ve had 7 black cars in the past and loved them, but I was more obsessed with cleaning my cars then! I’ve also found that you lose the lines sometimes in black - the etron GT is a prime example.
