I have seen both Anthracite and Mahogany Metallic in person. The anthracite is a more cool tone vs the mahogany metallic - which is very warm and deep with a burgundy/reddish tone to it. I found the Mahogany metallic very appealing.

Brown is a combination of green and red. The mahogany metallic has more red, the anthracite has more green.

The Getawayer, the German Porsche reviewer on YouTube, also confessed that his favorite color for 991 is Mahogany Metallic. By the way, your avatar looks cool. Is it a cat on a dog?

Now there's one additional reason to choose Mahogany Metallic: chick-magnet.

Yes, Guido (the getawayer's real name) definitely licked his lips. Too funny.

I got mine mahogany metallic/ espresso-cognac interiors, I ordered it that way because I wanted a classy look, but now I'm gonna get the Sport design kit to get a more sporty look.

Also thinking of getting martini decals, but I'm not sure if they will match with the color. Anyway, I'm not thinking of keeping them for long time.

Would you please post some pictures of your Mahogany 991, before and after the SD kit? We are very curious about how it will look with the SD kit. Thanks.
