I had actually seen that one, and while I notice that he says it changes colors with the light (and the flourescents in the dealership could change the color)... those two colors look different to me, like the indoors car that I like is a much "cooler (more grey?)" color.
There's a pretty big danger in ordering these colors without seeing them in person anyways.
re: 'Ice Blue Metallic'...and seeing it in person before you order any PTS color!

That could be lenses, filters, lighting conditions, etc. Take a look at the official Porsche press photos of the 2011 'Ice Blue Metallic' 911 Turbo S at its intro. Many have what you called a 'cooler/grey' look in their marketing shots!
But it's good for you to be skeptical. Keep doing your homework & due diligence!

If you pick up any bit of information from anything I write on Rennlist regards choosing a PTS color for your custom order, that is the one I would most strongly advise you to remember! Caveat lector.
What is Melissa telling you about Leather to Sample 'black'. As of a few years ago, nobody had ever even asked for it. I was the first one to pose that question to her. As you know, I am a big fan of the higher grade natural leather interiors and I think it merits consideration. :
Hi Eduardo,
Melissa was great. We put together a build with Black Natural Leather and I didn't realize before, but it is actually a good deal: The cost of leather to sample is $5,600, If you compare it with let's say espresso natural leather which costs $5,360, but then you have to add the leather interior package $790 and the center console $300, which come as standard in the leather to sample option, so the comparable number if you take one of the standard natural leathers is $6,450 vs $5,600.
Also very small charges for deviated stitching: $160 for steering casing and $160 for sun visors.
By the way, I was building a C 4S, because I couldn't get an allocation for a GTS 4 Cab. Got the GTS 4 Cab allocation last minute on Tuesday and the order was frozen on Wednesday at the end of the day. Which was fine, since I had already spent an inordinate amount of time in the configurator.

'Leather to Sample' option...finally being ordered!

Paulo, congratulations. I am very glad that you are willing to take a chance on 'Leather to Sample' premium grade natural 'Black'. When you get a chance, please post for us the actual codes for every leather interior you chose so that we have a better idea of what the options were and the cost individually for each. Also explain in fuller details why the 'leather interior package' (normally $760) and leather center console ($300) is included in the 'leather to sample' interior. I see you have added some other leather options - steering wheel casing and leather sun visors. Tell us the full list of options in your order. And what are you doing about deviating stitching...how does that work with your leather to sample interior and what did you have to pay for it on the seats, dash, door panels, etc. A full explanation of what you ordered and what it ended up costing you will be helpful to others on this forum that need to understand the other interior order possibilities in their 991s!

Congratulations on that! I have expressed surprise many times one could get natural leather in red but not black!
I was charged $80 for deviated stitching on my steering column casing (with Espresso/Cognac natural leather) and one of my regrets is getting the sun visors in leather - I found out when it went to Esoteric for a new car prep, those God-awful warning stickers are actually made part of the leather and unremovable. They just won't come off.
That was and is annoying to me.

Hi Eduardo, In the end I got an allocation for a Cab 4 GTS and went with that. I couldn't do leather to sample on a GTS, since I didn't know if would be able to get an allocation, my back up was a C 4S with X51. I still have mixed feelings, because it would have been a very nice build on the C 4S with Black Natural Leather.

Hi Keadog, They may have changed the adhesive, but I was able to remove the stickers from my leather sun visors. It required a lot of patience. I think that in the end I used Goo Gone and soap water and when I finally got it all off I applied leather conditioner.
That could be lenses, filters, lighting conditions, etc. Take a look at the official Porsche press photos of the 2011 'Ice Blue Metallic' 911 Turbo S at its intro. Many have what you called a 'cooler/grey' look in their marketing shots!
Perhaps contact Ultimo Motors and see if they can tell you the color code? (Well, not you Eduardo, the OP.)
I'm sorry I do not speak English and write through google
