2027 Porsche 718 Cayman Colors Guide – The 2027 Porsche 718 Cayman marks the all-electric successor to the long-running mid-engine coupe, with production confirmed to begin in 2027 and U.S. deliveries expected later that year or into 2028. As of mid-2026 the car has not received its official public reveal or full specifications, so final exterior color availability has not been published by Porsche.
Porsche typically carries forward a core set of solid, metallic, and special colors from the current lineup (especially the 911 and recent 718 models) while expanding the Paint to Sample (PTS) program. Expect a similar structure for the electric 718 Cayman aimed at U.S. buyers.
Expected Standard and Metallic Colors
Based on recent Porsche model-year offerings (including 2025–2027 911 and outgoing 718 colors), the core palette is likely to include:
- White (solid) and Carrara White Metallic / Ice Grey Metallic variants
- Black and Jet Black Metallic
- Guards Red
- Racing Yellow
- GT Silver Metallic
- Agate Grey Metallic / Vanadium Grey Metallic / Arctic Grey
- Gentian Blue Metallic
- Aventurine Green Metallic
- Carmine Red (often a special or higher-cost option)
These colors have appeared consistently across Porsche sports cars and SUVs in the U.S. market. Newer 911 color groupings (Contrasts, Shades, Dreams, Legends) may influence the electric 718 as well, bringing options such as Cartagena Yellow Metallic, Lugano Blue, Shade Green Metallic, or Slate Grey Neo.
Special Colors and Paint to Sample Options
Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur’s Paint to Sample program gives buyers access to a much wider range—often 100+ validated historic and modern shades. Recent expansions for 911 and Taycan models (also expected to influence the 718) have added colors including:
- Shark Blue
- Python Green / Lizard Green
- Miami Blue
- Ruby Star Neo
- Frozen Berry Metallic
- Various greens (Aventurine Green Metallic, Essmann Green, Graphite Green Metallic)
- Additional blues, yellows, oranges, and heritage hues
PTS typically carries a significant upcharge (often several thousand dollars in the U.S.). PTS Plus allows even more custom matching. Availability for the electric 718 will be confirmed closer to launch.
Popular Color Choices for U.S. Buyers
American Porsche buyers frequently favor:
- Classic reds (Guards Red, Carmine Red) for high visibility and heritage appeal
- Neutral metallics (GT Silver, Jet Black, Agate Grey, Arctic Grey) for everyday usability and resale
- Vibrant specials (Shark Blue, Python Green, Racing Yellow) on higher-performance variants
Darker or more subdued tones often pair well with the clean electric design language expected on the new Cayman.
Interior Color Pairings
Exterior choices will coordinate with standard and optional interiors (leather, Race-Tex, two-tone combinations). Expect Black as the baseline, with options such as Bordeaux Red, Graphite Blue, Cognac-style browns, and contrasting stitching. Full details will arrive with the official configurator.
What to Expect Next?
Porsche is expected to reveal the electric 718 Cayman (and Boxster) before the end of 2026. Once the configurator goes live for the U.S. market, exact pricing, standard vs. optional colors, and any new-to-the-lineup shades will be confirmed. In the meantime, remaining 2025 inventory of the outgoing combustion 718 offers a final chance to experience the current color range.
