Default Platinum Silver vs. Agate

Even though these choices are subjective, I have put my color choice on hold awaiting the decision of this forum!!!!!!! TIA. Oh, the interior is Espresso but maybe red with the Agate?

If you haven't seen an Agate car you are welcome to come over to see my car. I drive it to my office in Malvern almost every day. It has a two tone platinum black interior

My choice would be Agate Grey with Carrera Red, which is a beautiful combination.

Agate grey is nice, but IMO really needs something to spruce it up a bit. So yes, Agate with red is a very good combo. Espresso is a very nice interior (just saw one at my dealer this weekend), but would not be my pick for Agate. Espresso with white or silver looks great, especially GT Silver which has a bit of an earth tone in it. That combo, although pricy is fantastic.

If you're going to do Agate ext, do Carrarra red int. If you are going to do Espresso, do GT Silver or Plat Silv. Agat grey interior also looks great with the two silver colors. I do not care for agate grey on agate grey though..

I would do Platinum silver with either red or expresso interior, looks fantastic in both colors.
OTOH, Agate gray looks great with platinum gray or Umber.

I like both. I got Agate. Here are some photos. The color picks up blue and gold hues. The second to the last photo is the closest.

I was leaning toward agate grey until I saw it in person in the sun. To me it had too much of a brownish hue to it. I was disappointed, because I loved it in the showroom.

Default agate grey

To assist in your choice, here is "Argento" which I picked up Saturday at the dealership" agate grey/agate grey/platinum wheels/pccb brakes. My wife and I are happy. The duck tail spoiler order was brilliant if I do say so myself.

By the way, the GT3 at home is "Scato." Watch "Gladiator" and you'll get it.

You really need to see both colors in person. They are not close, not related, not in the same neighborhood.

Agate is a slate/brown mix, and Platinum is very silver with a warm undertone.

Platinum Silver:

Since you asked a highly subjective opinion let me add to the confusion. I would say don't get agate or PS, go for the yellow or red. But if you must chose between the two conservative colors go with the silver, with all black interior. Nothing better than an all black interior.

I am going to go with the Platinum Silver/Expresso. I feel as though the bit of beige that I see in it might play well with the dark brown.
