Don't think I've seen this posted here yet, but here it is:

It's not mine, but hot damn do I like it. It has me considering it in a few years after my Dakar Yellow lease is up. It's definitely not a paint for everyone, but I think it's gorgeous.

The lad "reviewing" it isn't the most experienced, but he does show some lovely angles of the car and paint.

Enjoy!

That color may work where palm trees grow, on a Lexus or Lincoln. Not feeling it, personally.

Thanks for posting. To me it's Twilight Purple that's been left in the Sun too long and faded. It's unique I'll give it that but I think it lacks depth (this is maybe because TP is so rich)

modat · 12-29-2021, 07:08 AM

I love it

chicagofan00 · 12-29-2021, 08:54 AM

It's a unique color but not one I'd likely buy.

Vic55 · 12-29-2021, 09:16 AM

Its like Twilight Purple but without the Twilight or the Purple.

Those were my exact thoughts. That's a Palm Springs, CA car.

BeamerBoomer · 12-29-2021, 09:47 AM

This color, Twilight Purple and some others, I think such a car should not appear too girlish, unless you are an IT-Girl, or how they call those.

Griz · 12-29-2021, 12:01 PM

This color and "So Flo" belong together, for better or worse.

Sounds like someone is insecure.

BeamerBoomer · 12-29-2021, 02:30 PM

Well, to each his own. I know, Elvis drove a pink Cadillac as well.

Had to be a car in Miami….

floating.spirit · 12-29-2021, 08:15 PM

No comments on the trunk sticker yet; I'm surprised. 👎🏻👎🏻

OP: Fun to see an original color, thanks for sharing.

WATCHMY6 · 12-29-2021, 08:42 PM

Is the interior white or silverstone?

jabrax · 12-29-2021, 09:20 PM

It looks like a color you have to see in person to appreciate.
I was underwhelmed with IOMG from online pics and videos. Walked up on it in person, and thought.. wow

Just my 2 cents

CodyAXM · 12-29-2021, 11:04 PM

Imagine ordering that color but not ordering laser lights.

I think IOMG looks great regardless! Saw it in person and loved it more. If an individual paint couldn't be done, I would've gone that route.

cfm56d7b · 12-31-2021, 12:33 PM

What a distinctive color. Thanks for sharing!

Frozen Berry Taycan spec copy cat?

I like it for some reason. Id have one with dark blue alcantara-cloth interior.

ShockArrival · 12-31-2021, 12:51 PM

I feel like you have to sell makeup or hair product to drive this bad boy.

Which is totally cool, of course.

Frozen berry is very deceiving on the Porsche config. In real life, well, it does look like frozen berries. I won't be able to pull off these colours

Natural progression... if you think the G80/2 look good you'll love this hideous color too.
