Default Choices, choices

I have put a deposit down my first 911: a 13'CPO C2 in Amaranth Red.....
-But then same dealership has a similarly equipped car in black.
Since I do not plan to keep this car forever, I am asking opinions on which would be the better resale color?
-Aramanth Red with Black interior
-Basic Black with Luxor Beige
Thanks for any input.

Beige interiors are near toxic. Choose against beige.

If you really want black exterior be a little patient and you'll find a good deal with the right interior!

1. The glare issue

2. Not the easiest color for resale

3. Reminds me of a Lincoln. Actually, they even got it right with the glare issue in 1997 with the dash Look at those sofa seats! Puts the 18 ways to shame.

Red. Black cars are hard to live with.

Red it is...The Amaranth is an interesting color---much more complex than the guards red....the metallic appears to change colors depending on lighting. Thanks for the input.

Amaranth red for sure! Black is boring, and Porsche black is the worst. Super soft, super easy got swirled. I had black with my old Cayneen Turbo, she only looks good for two days and I have to polish her every year.

Black is the number one color for Porsche resale! Takes some TLC but always looks good.
