I should note that the Linen shown in the pics appears to have a brownish appearance to it. It should be off white or lighter.

Afshin, I am sorry but I downloaded over 20 photos of Porsche "Linen" interiors. The photos were in varying lighting conditions and the color linen varied from white to tan. The color I settled on was the average of those photos being careful for the color to not be either white or gray which Dan specifically said linen was not. By the way, the linen seats in your Avitar sure look like they have a very brownish appearance to me. Maybe you could provide me with a more accurate photo of linen.
It took me several tries to get the paint color pretty close.

Here are a couple pics of the fuel filler door in turquoise metallic lying alongside some cashmere/tan leather samples. I think the grays or linen worked best against such a strong color.
I've also included some pics of wood door inserts that Gary Knox had made from the Koa tree that is native to Hawaii. He picked up the wood the last time he was in Kauai. Considering that as well in the grand interior scheme.

Anders that is beautiful. Do you have problems with the dash and pod reflecting up on the windsheild in bright sunlight? I have had problems in the past with light gray dash colors being really reflective.

Nope no problems at all, or at least I never thought of it. It's sunny in Stockholm today so I'm gonna take the 928 for work and have a look. It's a pita to keep the inside of the sunroof clean though.

I think I'd rather go with grey than linen on this "cool" exterior color. If it was a warmer green (more yellow, less blue) or other warm or neutral color, the linen would make more sense to me. Linen also goes well with certain "real" blue shades, as the two are more complementary than linen and turquoise.
