Default Umber vs. Espresso

Anyone have pics to show the difference? I'm confusing myself! haha. What do you think goes better on a anthracite brown cabrio w/ brown top?

I've posted these before, but to save you a search, here is Umber in my Cayenne. Just for reference, here is Cocoa in my Carrera. Espresso is even darker and hopefully someone will have pics of that color so you can compare.

Anthracite Brown is pretty dark. I think I would consider the lighter Umber over Espresso for more exterior/interior contrast, but that's just me.

Thanks Mike. I'm hoping to see some pics on a 991 interior, which i'm having trouble finding.

I wonder how Umber and Espresso would look with Racing Yellow. Actually, besides Black what other color would look good with RY?

espresso would work well with RY IMHO; umber less so as it's not dark enough and it has a slight greenish tint to it

really like that brown Mike.

The harness adds some flair too. Like racing a mahogany library with many leather lined volumes

Agate Grey special leather would look great with RY IMHO...
