Default Colors with Cocoa?

So far I've only seen white, GT silver, & basalt black with cocoa. Will it not go well with any other colors? Any of the darker shades of blue?

Pics, anyone?

well, no pics sorry, but i´ve ordered Slate/cocoa. cayman s by the way.

cocoa ist really that popular, for no reason i can understand as i find it to be a very rich color. and the leather looks much more like leather than it does in black IMHO.

DUDE! I saw a Carmon Red with Cocoa in San Diego last year and thought it was one of the most beautiful combo's. And I usually just like the stanard colors. The car really turned my head because it looked so rich and the colors really complemented each other.

I have seen guards red and cocoa too, although it was not my favorite combo (tan fits the orange tone of Guards better)

As far as its popularity, the quality of the leather is beautiful, but it's just not for me.

I've seen pics of cocoa and seal gray on a 997 cab. Awesome.

I bought Carmon/Cocoa/Sand. I like it and never see anyone else with the same combination.

I just bought Arctic Silver with a Cocoa top and Cocoa interior. It is just like the one in the Boxster brochure. I love the combination.

I haven't pulled the trigger yet an order, but I am thinking about getting Atlas Grey with Cocoa top and Cocoa interior.

I am not sure about that combo, but if you like it go for it, I did order my 997 TT white on Cocao, its a pretty safe combo, but as I understand Atlas is almost a bluey grey?

GT Silver goes better with cocoa. GT Silver seems to have a little hint of brown in it. It's not really noticeable but with cocoa interior, it really works. (My car is GT Silver with cocoa.)

Like Nick, I ordered Slate grey with Cocoa. Unlike Nick, I do not get my car until August. For me, it just seemed like a great combination when I was going through the colors at the dealership.

Cocoa is a special order color? I don't see it listed on Porsche's web site.
Beautiful interior.

I've seen cocoa w/Carrara White. GT Silver seems to be the most likely combo with it though.
