Default Need advice for my 911 color

I am to the point I need to select interior and exterior colors for my 911 build. Below are several renderings of the colors I am interested in. One is a classic blue/orange and the other a more modern stone grey/black (or red). I love both and really torn and would like to know your opinions. Keeping it clean, staying attractive over several decades, etc. Love this forum, thanks in advance.







BTW, I am posting this in the 964 forum as well b/c I didnt know the best place for it.

I like the grey. Have you considered a nice ivory white?

I have and I like that color also but I wanted something that pops a little more than ivory.

Go for more color, too many drab 911's out there, IMO. If done right though, any color will look great.

I like the color of the IROC Porsches, but I really like this purple.

Reminds me a Plum Crazy Purple...70s Mopar color. Those are very popular today. Nice choice.

The 911 seems to be one of those rare cats that looks good it lots of colors. Just a great shape.

Mine is chiffon white. Looks off white or ivory, but sometimes looks pale yellow. I like it. I still vote gray and black.
