I think letting other people vote on the color of your car isn't a good idea. The car's supposed to be about your tastes, not the preferences of strangers on the internet.
I much prefer colors like sapphire blue or amaranth red (the color of my C4S) over white, black, or gray. Simply because I'd rather have color than a grayscale shade, and I much prefer the metallic colors over things like Guards Red. But that's my taste, and not yours.

And your comment about no gray tones. I too want to avoid the black, silver and gray as I see a ton of them at every Porsche event. I hadn't really thought of white as being a gray tone but you are correct.
As I mentioned before, this has been a super fun process for me and I really appreciate your input and all the replies to my thread.
Thank you

The configurator is very helpful in narrowing down the choices, and visiting a dealer to see actual color / combos, can help you narrow down the prospects further -- you can search dealer inventory, so see if a particular dealer has a combo that intrigues you. In addition, there are exclusive design studios in Beverly Hills, and Atlanta that could be helpful.

Carrara White and Agate is just fine. I think it would have to be paired with a dark trim like carbon fiber. Compared to some of the two tone offerings I would say its on the more blander side. IF you are going for full leather in Agate interior you might as well take advantage of the two tone leather + deviated stitching by paying an extra $430.
I think these will work too.. Just to give you an idea.
Carrara White/Black/CF Int/White Deviated Stitching/White Gauges
Carrara White/Black and Umber/ CF Int/Black Gauges
Carrara White/Black and Bourdeaux/ CF Int/ Black Gauges
Graphite Blue is a unique color which I think only a black interior works with. I think the Graphite/Chalk actually looks really good and very luxorious but I just cant see it in a 911. I think a Panamera with the right combo will look really nice with Graphite/Chalk.

It's totally subjective but I'm with you on being on the more subtle side. Thought of some more sources to get inspiration and get a better feel for how your 911 could look like
- Go through all the pages of Edurardos excellent Exclusive thread - tons of inspiration in there
- Go to dealers and ask to see if they have any special cars with special interiors (to get an feeling for how things actually look)
- Go to cars & coffee, POC or PCA events and check out owners' cars for the same reason
- As already suggested, download the plugin and play with the advanced configurator
Good luck and please post pictures once you've taken delivery

What is the "advanced" configurator?
These are all great ideas and have really expanded my options.
Maybe Carrera White with Expresso int
Or Camine Red with Expresso
Hadn't thought of those before.

Yes, LOTS of contrast on that combo but the natural leather is too light for my taste and I know my wife would hate it.
Had Sahara Beige leather interior on my last C4 and I was OK with the interior by my bride was not.
