I have a Boxster S with GT Sliver on Cocoa leather and I find it brilliant to my eye. I think Espresso would be great too.

I like silver and red in general, but I think I'd go for a cooler silver (i.e. Rhodium) if I were going with red.

For any car you might "track out"--black. But, for a personal car--keep the Espresso. There are TONS of black interiors, and a fair number of reds. Espresso is rare, and way cool and inviting looking; and not polarizing. It will look great with silver. I have red with meteor grey metallic and love it. BUT, my next order will have brown leather of some sort--espresso, natural leather in cocoa or something.

It is literally "cool". Belongs with a warmer silver like platinum silver metallic (now a custom order paint).

Second the blue interior. Not a fan of browns with silver. It's like brown shoes with a grey suit, people do it, just never looked right to me.

I don't think you can go wrong with either black, espresso (or espresso/ cognac) or red.

Thanks for all your suggestions. So it looks like I'm still going with espresso but the espresso and cognac is still in the back of my mind. Your suggestions have been very helpful!

Just a brief rehash of the suggestions. Yachting blue is nice, but as someone mentioned, I think it goes better with rhodium which Has a blue hue to it. I probably would have done black but my last 3 cars have been silver and black and I wanted to change it up a bit. Dont track at all either. I think red is a great color but the all red with the red dash is too bright for me. I wish they offered the black and red from the TTS on the TT. That combo is perfect. Espresso and cognac was a though but I felt that the cognac goes better with darker colors like black, blue, grey etc. Any other takers for espresso/ cognac with espresso deviating carpet? Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Mine is the espresso/ cognac with espresso deviating carpet. Would you like a few pics or have you seen it already? I will say the natural leather is so much softer that I am glad I did it for that reason. If you go with espresso make sure to get leather on the steering column or it will be black plastic. That is the only real thing that looks funny.

You could get black leather and seats in deviating red.

GT Silver + Espresso is one of the best decisions I've made--couldn't be happier. Go for it!
