Default Color Thread?

We're in the early stages of contemplating a 991 purchase (goodbye RSA and 987) but I find the car configurator on the Porsche website misleading. Let's start a thread to post exterior colors/photos so myself and others get a better idea of the actual colors in real life.

Thanks.

that is a great idea. I was just at the dealer this weekend working on a build and it is so hard using the configurator as the colors just don't show correctly (to my eye) on the computer. Since dealer stock is so low it's hard to find different colors to look at. I did a search of all PA, NY, WV, MD, and OH this morning and 99% of what is in dealer stock is either black\black or grey\black or silver\black. I am really interested in the Blue and Red and Espresso interior colors. My previous 997 was Grey exterior and Black interior and I very much want to avoid that in the 991. But for me looking at the computer is just too hard to visualize. If anyone has other interior colors I'd love to see some great hi res pics.

A friend has an Anthracite Brown Metallic exterior with the Expresso Natural Leather interior. The Anthracite comes off almost platinum in sunlight. Beautiful!!!
