Boxster GTS 4.0 color combos
#91
My personal winning build at the moment combines the two themes from above: LWBS and Python Green (as PTS-lite) with roll hoops in exterior paint, full black leather, Bose, platinum wheels, Python interior trim at $104k, $14k in options. Maybe with black calipers but I kind of like the minimal red with the red reflectors.

it’s a beautiful dark shade blue color. Personally I like it more than the popular gentian blue and I think it goes really well with black/red & black/chalk interior. My cayenne is moonlight blue (with black interior) which I believe is an even darker blue, it was off the lot otherwise I’d have black/red interior.

Also I love some colors, but not as much on a Boxster, so that drives my color choice. I think chalk and aventurine look awesome on a 911 coupe and maybe a Cayman, but I just don't love them as much on a Boxster. I'm wondering if I would feel that way if I saw night blue. If I was buying a 911 I would get chalk or aventurine.

Looks like my dealer has a night blue Macan. I should check out the color on it before locking into gentian on my Boxster. It looks really nice in the dealer photos. If every new 718 driving around my city including mine is gentian I'll be a little bothered. Although in the six months I've had my 911 I've only seen one other Porsche sports car on the road so I probably shouldn't worry too much.
I also checked out a black/bordeaux Taycan and loved the interior. I was also able to look at platinum and aurum wheels. The aurum is bolder than I expected.

I stopped by my dealer and they had sold the night blue Macan. Looking at the color samples night blue is indeed really dark. Not bad if that is what one wants, but my sales advisor said it looks black at night and I believe him. It does have a pronounced metallic flake to it, which looked nice in the sun.

The best hyper-stripper (ZERO OPTIONS except freebies) Boxster GTS 4.0. Red, black, silver. $90k. Not too shabby...

Black, red, silver. Even a better looking (zero option) hyper-stripper, for those not afraid of black:

White could also work. White/black with red and silver accents. 4 colors, but 3 of them neutral, and 2 of them as accents, so still works:
A hyper-stripper would be a unicorn as it would require *****, determination, and clarity of purpose to order it as such.

Hot theme: Black wheels, Red calipers, Red top, GTS interior package with red stitching.
Interesting how only now, while exploring black wheel combos, I noticed that the black side intakes form an arc (bow) with the (black) roll hoops which gets lost/broken if you paint the roll hoops exterior color. I thought painted roll hoops were a must for the GTS 4.0 -- not so sure any more, or at least not for black wheels.
Exterior color variations on the theme:
Agate (my 2nd favorite)
"Murder" Black
GT Silver
Gentian Blue
Night Blue (my 3rd favorite)
Chalk (my favorite)

Yes, from a purely aesthetic angle the "murder black" with red combo is really sexy but a huge pain in the a$$ to keep clean. It also loses the black side intake + black roll hoop "arc effect" that I just discovered and am starting to really like.

I also really like the murdered out look. I wouldn't get it, but I did it to my kid's Giulia and it looks fantastic (exhaust, badges, grill...all the non-black parts). It's funny how blacking out everything makes a car stand out. Murdered out with just deviated seat centers might be interesting. Or murdered out with full black leather and a deviated stitch of some sort.
