But satin platinum looks ok with gentian on other models
I must be the only one that hates that GT wheel design - I keep seeing flower petals :D

Embrace your feminine side!
They also show the callipers better than most, which is a nice splash of colour.
If I don’t like the gentian then I know my wife will have us back to boring black

I have to say folks I parked up the dolomite GTS today (calling her Greta) and watched her as I waited for a coffee accross the road.

In love with how she looks - really really beautiful car

Love the exterior finish with the paint and RS wheels

Popped her into sport mode today and felt absolutely amazing on the throttle

Sorry folks - I’m smitten lol

Also no matter how good photos are - seeing the vehicle in 3D is glorious - mine is parked under the house so I’m constantly opening the front door to gaze at it … err … check on the 🐿 😆

Ok, so I think I’m disappointed with Gentian. Looks really flat in the flesh in anything other than bright light (when it then sparkles).

Now contemplating night blue, which in the bright lights has an amazing depth of colour, and the rest of the time will settle my wife’s desire for black

still stuck on colour too. Went to OPC today as they have a new Crayon in but just looked dirty flat light grey! (probably not clean but hey ho)

Gentian just looked dark blue (cloudy skyes). I saw Dolomite in the Macan for first time and had completely dismissed this up to now as another "fade into the background" car but... It looked absolutely stunning!!!!!
Am surprised but pleasantly so, and this is now my new top of the list colour.
Re night blue, I agree it has a certain charm and will never be offensive.

This is what happens when you have to wait ages for a car, mood and preferences play tricks on you. Having said that, should I go for Silver I will probably match with painted blades and avoid roof rails as otherwise there will be too many Black accents for my taste..
