I would say both exterior colors would go very well so its a choice between a grey or blue car

Im trying to picture chalk stitching with espresso vs maybe gt silver stitching if GT silver stitching is similar to GT silver exterior in that it has brownish undertones but may be due to metallic part of the paint

I vote night blue. Although both exterior colors would go well with that interior, night blue is more rare and looks more rich, IMHO.

Espresso/Cognac is a very nice selection. Very chic.

When your considering the color balance of your car, the balance between your exterior color and interior colors is not all that important.

What's more important is the color balance of the interior seat coverings and the interior trim. Because, when you're driving, that's what you see and, so, enjoy.

The interior trim choice's you have is to pick the common place aluminum, brushed aluminum or leather. You, really, don't lose with any of those; but, you sit firmly in the visually ho hum category.

The other choice is to bring the exterior color inside to the trim. In that case, the blue is the hands down winner. A chalk trim is, IMO, wasted money.

I suggest you also spend some time looking at the color of your dials. Not so much because of color; but, because they impact how well you see your gauges.

According to the artist that worked in my office, brown and blue don't go together.

If you look at cars that are more common, you never find a blue car with a brown interior. (think GM, Ford, Honda etc..)



I, however, have no problem with it.

Blue and brown go great together—and there are a lot of examples of it in fashion, but I'd say it goes further than that: The combination has style. Which blue and which brown are the key. To that end, I'd do:

Espresso interior with Agate Gray Metallic exterior would be beautiful. Please tell me you are thinking about all Espresso rather than the two-tone setup?
-or-
Agate interior (full leather only) on Night Blue. I don't know what it is about Night and Agate together, but I can't take my eyes off that combo. Chalk or silver stitching might put it completely over the top.



Either would be gorgeous as a coupe or Targa. If it's a Cabriolet, then I would go Agate with a brown top and Espresso interior. Stunning!

Night Blue with Espresso, especially if you do the Espresso and Cognac combo, for sure. I saw the combo in person on a TTS at my dealer. Gorgeous.

I saw a 2018 911 Turbo S last weekend at a dealership that was Chalk exterior with Espresso full leather interior. Stunning.

Night blue would go perfectly with the full expresso ( or even the 2 tone expresso/cognac)!

My car is pure white over Espresso. I really like Espresso. I have seen in person all the trim combinations with the Espresso interior. Second choice for me is carbon fiber. Looks very good. First choice is the wood trim. The mahogany trims blend seamlessly with the dark Espresso. I know, I know- wood trim in sports car is blasphemy. But I'm an old geezer who started owning Porsche sports cars since the '60's when wood on the interior was common. To me the wood trim with the Espresso is the nicest combination.

I am old school, and color conservative--and I prefer something "neutral" inside to complement the outside, or vice-versa. So I recommend agate grey to complement the espresso interior.

IMO agate looks the best overall in all conditions. But the blue looks the best under certain lighting and conditions. Both are gorgeous and will look great with your combo.


Quick Reply: Which color with espresso interior? Agate grey or Night blue
