Would buying a Porsche Boxster in Macadamia Brown Metallic adversely affect the resale value?

I've been thinking of buying a 2008 Porsche Boxster 987 in Macadamia Brown Metallic. It's a nice car but do you think this would be a silly colour to buy and would it affect the resale value adversely? It's a dark metallic brown.

It's the kind of colour that some people like; others don't, so it narrows the market for resale.
