Love the matching key. Technically not available in Ireland for some reason - I should have pushed for it.

My Crayon CT 4S is about to arrive in March, but the the opportunity has arisen for me to get a Neptune Blue GTS in May, which I am considering.

I'm so torn. If it were a Crayon GTS I would have said yes in a heartbeat, but I've actually never seen Neptune Blue in person.

I had the same struggles, crayon or neptune. At the end I chose neptune, I was lucky to see one at the dealership. Part of the reason also was that I see chalk macans and 911s around, neptune is new and different at least for me. I've had black, white, silver cars never blue. Either way though both are nice, just go with your gut feeling!

Neptune is amazing. Most compliments I get on a cars color outside of a 30k Ferrari paint I had in rare Bianco Fuji on my 488 Spider.
That's pretty interesting. It's definitely a colour that would attract attention.

I've opted to order a GTS in Crayon, but I've got some time to change to Neptune if I can see a car in the colour between now and lock date.

For me as a Neptune Blue owner – Crayon has always been my favourite number two colour. Because Crayon is a colour that is "close to white" it messes up the white balance on many camera's and does not photograph properly – unless compensated for professionally.

Therefore, I think, that Crayon usually "looks better" in real life then it does in photos. Neptune Blue – while sometimes coming out differently due to its flat colour that doesn't reflect light like metallic paint – tends to look more life-like in pictures.

Agree. I also agree shout chalk /crayon being hard to photograph. I know it’s a popular color but to me looks best in 911 models. I’ve seen it bigger cars and it looks a little odd in person as with large body panels the beige really comes out which I don’t love if you want that off white color get ice grey if that was your lean as that looks similar in real life as chalk often photographs.

Spectacular choice. My gm just texted me to tell me my voodoo blue turbo S is arriving today or tomorrow. Hope I like it as much as my Neptune. Fingers crossed I like it more.
Voodoo is tight. I'm sure you'll be posting photos of it.
