...Being sad losing the opportunity to get my dream car at my favorite color plus my all favorite interior color combination is only the one part of the story.The other one is I must now spend countless hours,again,as if the ones I already spent weren't enough,trying to find another suitable colors combination for the exterior/interior and build a completely new looking car deserving the 140-150TEUR I'm gonna spend.Maybe I'm biased right now and see things in a negative way...I really don't know,I don't even have a clue and all of a sudden the coloring options Porsche giving us for this car seems to be so restrictive and limited compared to its other models...

...Well...back to the drawing board!
Do they not refresh the colors for each model year? Maybe they will add one you like.

I really don't know if they do,I just hope they will!I only started to deal with the configurator from August-September onwards.
However I already have a couple of (acceptable for me) solutions.The one would be to choose PTS GulfOrange which after I examined it in several web photos I realised it looks very appealing paired with my favourite choice of Chalk Beige with Orange seat centers and stitching for the interior.
The other one would be a FrozenBlue exterior with the same Chalk Beige with Orange interior and some PPF GulfOrange additions on the exterior.It will look like this on the outside:

Don’t get too attached to PTS, I did and then found out it wasn’t available. Porsche has to approve it for each order, and it didn’t matter which color I chose. I’d ask about it.

Thank you for the tip, either way I have to ask from my SA to inform me about the new total cost of the car after using the PTS option so he will tell me if Gulforange will be available for my configuration.

Although blue is a complementary color to orange it can be tricky on the shades and tones. You know if you want Papaya you can get the rims painted that color. See some examples you can play with.

Heard that the Papaya color is no longer available because it was TM by the WH… I wonder why?

Thank you for the ideas but I opted for the 21" wheels which unfortunately aren't offered painted.However my winter set aftermarket forged wheels will most likely be painted or at least partially painted in orange.
As for the orange over blue or vice versa,here is where I got the idea and its orange over blue.A very classic and known Porsche paint scheme:
