Automobile fashion is prevalent even at Porsche!
A few years ago, silver/grey dials were a fashion in the auto industry.
My wife's 2011 XC70 speedo is just about impossible to read with a silver border containing the mph figues.
Before the 991.2 and 718, 981 S and 991 S models came with a center grey/silver tach dial.
I was going to specifically request Porsche Exclusive to put a black dial in my 991.2 C4S when I went to order it but noticed that the Configurator now had an 'Option Delete' for the dial to Black face.
It's perfect with all Black!-Richard

I have gotten really used to yellow. Didn't think I would like it at first but it has really grown on me. Along with yellow seat belts (and CF trim), really breaks up the sea of black leather.

White dials here. Never had an issue in 37,000 miles of reading any of my gauges.

I'm bored with my black ones and thinking about seeing what it takes/costs to switch to white.

Also white dials and also no issues... they really stand out and look great during the day. At night they look Black

I thought I was looking at my car...mine is not an "S" though

I went with Guards Red gauges and chrono in a Guards Red car and Racing Yellow gauges and chrono in a Racing Yellow car - couldn't be happier (note, they go black at night time).

Very nice! With your wheel on the other side it is like looking into a mirror!

Red works best!

I was wondering what color the needles would be with the red face...now I know.

White gages and chrono. Works for me. Plus the car is white.

Ah...No. This is only really relevant for those of us with MT, and it has to be red indicators on black dials. This is functional, anything else is just fashion, and for those who get bored looking at black dials while driving a Porsche, really?

Until we get HUD, I can honestly say I don't look much at the tach while I'm aggressively shifting my MT C2S. I'm looking out over the road/track. I might sneak a glance when I'm on a straight and certainly look at it when I'm just cruising and trying to determine while of the 7 gears most suits my mood ... but on aggressive driving I'm shifting based on sound and response.

But on topic, I've never had a problem quickly identifying engine speed during a quick glance at my grey tach.

You may want to try the GearShift Assistant in the MFD next time you are on the track. I find that I never have to take my eyes off the track and can pick up the yellow and then red in my peripheral vision. This allows me to focus more on managing traffic / situational awareness.
