Default Night blue with saddle or espresso?

Hi all,
anyone have either of these combinations? Care to comment? Night blue with saddle a bit lighter - is the espresso quite dark?
thank you!

Default Slight variation on your colors ... Dark Blue Metallic with Espresso/Cognac

I have a '16 Dark Blue Metallic w/interior of Espresso/Cognac. The Cognac is close to Saddle, although Saddle is a bit richer than the Cognac. Espresso is really dark. I love it, esp. for the dashboard, b/c it does not reflect on the windscreen.

My 2013 C2S is white over Espresso. Photos wash out the true color of Espresso. It is a very rich dark brown. I especially like the look of the natural leather. Saddle is lighter in color which I think would go better with a dark exterior. I have seen several dark blue cars with Espresso/Cognac and it looks great.

I have night blue metallic with beige/black interior. I looked at espresso/cognac in person and decided against it because the cognac, while rich, had a little bit of an orange basketball color to it. I was concerned that the beige would be a little washed out from pics on the configurator, but in person it's a nice rich color and I'm very pleased with the outcome, pics don't do it justice (like the night blue metallic, which is absolutely sparkling and stunning in sunlight).

expresso is almost black, you wont get much color out of that, id say saddle. I had a 928 with those colors, its a good contrast

Expresso for the natural leather is my vote.

Any thoughts on agate leather? I posted some pics of my wife's Macan in the Macan forum. It is a fantastic combo with night blue metallic.

^ +1 for Night Blue on Agate (full-leather only, as Agate base interior looks cheap by comparison).

I don't like Agate with very many colors, but it's a stunner with Night Blue. There was a 991.2 C4S with silver wheels at a PCNA event and everyone had a very hard time taking their eyes off of it. It was just plain stunning. I'm a fan of Espresso, but on Night Blue I'd have to have Agate.

I had a Midnight Blue Metallic Panamera with a Cognac interior and it was a beautiful and very rich looking combination. Similar to what you are considering.
