Just another perspective, I went with Dolomite Silver over Graphite Blue. The blue is pretty subtle in person but compliments either of the silver offerings well. Here’s a picture for reference:

Well, since you've solicited opinions, how about an EXPERT opinion?

Among the three options you listed, I'd opt for GT silver with the full truffle brown interior. That latter, IMHO, is unique; it would be my first choice, always. Black leather, on the other hand, in combination with the dark headliner, will turn your Porsche into a cave. You can get a sense of that from the photographs available online. You may prefer that sense of enclosure, but I don't and would seek to avoid it. Also, wrt Porsche's new Crayon color, to my eyes it seems "washed out," on a 911.

GT Silver with Full Black Leather. Can never go wrong with a classic combination.

I am biased. I chose GT Silver with a black interior and the brushed aluminum trim as a brightening accent. Dealer referred to it as a fairly typical build. Sometimes things are more common because they work.

I must admit I like the truffle option also. You really can’t go wrong with these options.

Yes in the sense that with black you can be sitting on a dirty seat and think it is clean! It's not like black leather magically resists dirt.

Why not combining the GT Silver with the full Island green instead of the full Truffle brown leather interior ?

I am searching already many weeks but didn't find any picture of that interior, though I guess this will look very classy !

I don’t really get the interior of this new car. It’s all over the place, like an amalgamation of different 911s from every era. I think to keep things grounded, black interior with minor modifications (lighter colour stitching, seat inserts, etc.)

Asking someone else about what color they prefer is akin to asking what flavor ice cream you should eat. Utterly useless as color is so subjective.

I had graphite blue on my 991.2 and it gets boring. If you ask me, Slate Grey is an underrated interior color that you should definitely consider. But in terms of the options asked I’d go with GT Silver on Truffle Brown. On a previous 997 I had what was called chocolate brown interior and it was never boring.

I’m not a fan of crayon. It goes beige in some lights and lacks the premium feel. Again all opinions.
