Default Help, GT silver with what interior colors?

I placed my TT order with GT silver and the espresso interior. I've had a lot of silver cars with black interiors and thought this might be a nice change but I'm not certain of the choice. Can anyone with this combo comment on how the GT silver and espresso go together. Also, Is there any downside to espresso vs black in terms of showing wear on the seats. My other thought was espresso/cognac two tone with deviating carpet in espresso. This two tone works nice with white, blue, and black but would this combo work with GT silver.

When I was shopping for my 997, my favorite combo was GT Silver and Cocoa Interior. Not sure how that compares to Espresso in 991, but if it's a brown that's probably close. I ended up with GT Silver and Black Interior which turned out great for me as a close second choice. Keep in mind, if you ever need to shop for upgraded seats such as the Porsche Sport Buckets, *most* you will find second hand will be black.

I know you were asking about other colours, but I'm considering Black or Black/Platinum Gray with the GTSilver. Leaning Black.

I have had two GT silver cars. A 997 turbo with brown natural leather and a Panamera with espresso.

The 997 was interesting. Quite a contrast and loved it but it was certainly unusual.

The espresso on GT looks awesome as there just seems to be a bit of brown in the silver coloring.

Espresso would be my choice.

Black would be wrong in my opinion. Espresso wears very well.

I've a 2013 4S w/ GT Silver and red natural everywhere - looks great w/ the std aluminum look interior trim. Even better would be the red/black leather w/ carbon fibre trim and contrasting stitching.

I have GT Silver and Espresso, I added lots of additional leather options, almost all of them.

Love it.

Did you think of "yachting blue"? Just my two cents.

Yachting Blue is a cool color, but polar. Tough on resale. Would look better with Rhodium than GT Silver, IMO.
