It's a brave colour, and as a past owner of Racing Yellow, these colours are both attractive to those who wouldn't ever buy one, and difficult to resell as a result. I love 'brave' colours, but I think even I would struggle with all that green. It's very much a 'Florida car' where it looks great on the strip, but crap in Tesco's car park in November.
Speaking of Tesco’s car park, I saw a Papaya parked up yesterday and I must say that colour is growing on me. Particularly in the sunshine it looked stunning and was attracting many an admiring glance (including me). This one was an S with papaya stitching on black leather too so the full McCoy and very nice too…

There are a couple knocking around. I don't do Insta etc, but mate of mine does, he's car mad and has sent me a few images of some really nice colours, inc Papaya 'in a Tesco car park' kinda thing
He's doing better than my OPC: I'd asked them to send any real world pics of any Papaya they knew of, but seen nothing yet....
Orange: it's a thing!

Spot on. I saw a Mahogany Macan (only one I've ever seen in the wild) over in Majorca and it looked absolutely fantastic in the Summer Balearic sun. Really popped. I do suspect it would look 'shit brown' over here in a weak November Blighty sun.

There was a mahogany Cayenne at an independent forecourt near us when living in Chepstow. Wasn't particularly expensive, but it sat for minimum 2 years, and I used to drive past it every weekday in all weathers: never shouted ' pick me' sadly.
Anyway: off topic somewhat.

I saw a Papaya S in M&S car park on Monday, a beautiful sunny day, and thought it looked crap. In my opinion!

I still contest that these Python Green GTS Macans will be sought after, a bit like some PTS Porsches are. (And greens are quite popular PTS colours.)
I can just see someone like Romans snapping up pre-owned cars like these.
I think you are absolutely bang on with that assertion.
The Python will do very well I would wager and green is a very " in "colour at the moment.
Judging from what I've seen the new Audi RS3 green (which is equally as loud) is proving a very popular choice.
