My 997 GT3 has black full leather interior and I have added just some touches of Sea blue to the bolsters of the seats as I see just a tint of blue in the GT silver and I want to carry it inside and I have no intentions of selling the car so resale is not a consideration.

Bottom line, buy the color you enjoy not what others may say for resale. Enjoy your ride

Take a look at this thread - It is great info and pics Photos of New Dual Tone 'Espresso/Cognac' Leather Interior!
I don't know how to insert the link to go direct so you will need to find it. The last post is from 1/6

Fester, that looks amazing. I see you have the deviating seat belts in gray silver. Any regrets to the light seat belts. Also how did you get the silver backs on your seats? From what I've seen the backs are espresso.

Thanks

No regrets on the belts...I have the car for 1 year now and I had to clean the driver side belt only once with warm water, towel and little bit of detergent in it. As good as new so far. I don't really eat in the car and rarely drink anything though.

You get silver back on 18way sport seats ...it came out exactly as I envisioned and overall goes with GT silver exterior perfectly. Not sure if 991 tt/tts has same seats option or different

Gothcha. I ordered the 14 way seats. A few too many adjustments for my taste!

My DBM Cabrio is full leather black & grey... probably looks good with a silver, but not as splashy.

I'm in the same boat with you right now. After driving in Espresso, I'm absolutely sold on espresso interior. I saw espresso interior with GT silver metallic and BLACK top in a turbo cab and other models at the LA Auto Show last month. Very classy. I myself always wanted a black CS cab, but I'm unsure if it'll go with espresso. I'm leaning toward white cab with black top to accommodate the espresso. Any input from you guys on espresso with white or with black exterior would be cool. Really narrowing it down to either white or black now. Thanks.

Expresso is a warm tone. It would look optimal with a warm-toned silver. Platinum silver metallic offers that possibility. (Gt silver metallic is cold and white toned.)

Fester's car is one of the nicest looking on the forum. Love the espresso interior with the silver, and love the detailing with the silver seat belts. Fantastic execution!

So with obviously too much time on my hands until my build becomes locked in I've been recently contemplating the two tone espresso and cognac with deviating espresso carpet. Should brighten up the cabin a bit and the cognac will be much easier to keep clean than Luxor beige.
