The interior matches the paint color perfectly, too.

When we were originally looking, I came across a Graphite Blue C4S with black Carrera Sport wheels and black interior with blue seat inlays. I felt this was a nice combo if looking for a Graphite Blue 911 but still want a sportier look.



Here's the car, which still seems to be available, if anyone is interested:

For those of you with Graphite Blue/Chalk interiors, how do you like them? How are they wearing?

Yes, it's a good color. If I was ordering, I'd consider it.

Graphite is one of my top choices come ordering time. Unless something better comes along...

This color is like a chameleon. Really glad I chose it.

Has anyone seen or own one with Black/Bordeaux they could post pics of? The Graphite/chalk looks great, but I had an '87 with Linen leather; it was very prone to staining and no fun to care for. I imagine things have improved in 30 years, but I'm still leery of light interiors. The red could look good or be "challenging", so I'll probably stick with black if I can't find one that's already been built.
I have some time before the build locks. Thanks.

I love Graphite Blue. I love (and own) a red interior 991. But that doesn't mean the two should be seen together. I once saw a 356 Cab in Aetna Blue/Red, as pictured below. Google "Aetna Blue with Red Interior" and see many pics. Beautiful car, but the combo just didn't work very well. Black, brown, or Chalk would be my choice, depending on one's taste.

I saw this color this weekend as I was picking up my 1st 911. We' vie had a cayenne in the past, I don't know if that is consider a Porsche.
Anyhow, graphite blue has to be one of the best colors I have seen IMO. Absolutely stunning!
Btw, I purchased 2014 991.1s cab, 7MT, PASM, PSE, sport steering wheel, 14 way seat in GT silver with 7000 miles.
I will post pics as soon as my kids teach me.

That's what I fear, but if the red is deep enough, I think it might work since it's not the entire interior.
Would consider Black/chalk if it were offered, but I don't like the blue interior leather on the two Graphite/chalk cars I have seen. Plus my experience with Linen many years ago has made me very wary of light interiors.
I love Espresso, but I don't think it's right for this blue. Then there's the top color. I had the brown top on my '13 Boxster S and didn't like it much.
Saw a Graphite/Agate and it was nice, but I would probably select black over it. Haven't seen Saddle in person.
My default is black and I wouldn't order the Black/Bordeaux without seeing and haven't been able to find one yet. If the clock runs out before I get to see it, I'll stick with black.

I think this is what you're asking for? I remember seeing one when I was looking and was able to dig it up, even though it has now been sold.
