Default Opinion on my interior color

Wow... This has been a crazy two months going back and forth from GT Silver to Chalk plus interior color choices.
I've decided to go with the Chalk exterior color. I've had a few silver 911s in GT silver and I now have a Macan in silver with black leather so maybe it's time to step out of my comfort zone
and get something different.
Anyway, my Porsche SA tells me I probably have another week or two till the build locks so please help me out on your thoughts on the interior color.
I really appreciate your views, thanks!

Definitely go with the black, it's classic, it's clean and sets off the chalk in a way that only white on black can do.

While you may want to step out of your comfort zone, at the same time I wouldn't want you to step in s#it because that is literally the color of truffle brown. Just my opinion of course

Both colors look great. I was in a Macan with the brown leather and chalk stitching. It looks fantastic in person, no ****.

Given the two interior options, I would go with Black with deviated stitching. I personally don't find the brown to be appealing.

Good choice on the chalk over GT silver.

Black full leather interior is always nice, but there's nothing particularly distinctive about it. It's "nice" not "wow". In general, I think brown with either Chalk or GT Silver is a surprising "WOW". A really unexpected, almost designer-inspired, classy combination. The problem is this particular shade of brown. I have to admit, it looks like the "wrong" shade of brown on the configurator. I know you don't have the option to see it in person before you order, but could you find a different Porsche model in your area with the Truffle interior? It may help to cement a decision - one way or the other.

The problem with taking photos of the Truffle interior is that these clever smart phones always lighten the image. Below is a before and after. I've edited the second image to try and reflect how it appears in a dull Scottish evening.

In my opinion it is just dark enough to be a very good alternative to the rather predictable and dull black options. At a push I'd prefer it even a shade darker, but it is a very nice place to sit.

Hinckley, I think you are right about looking the "wrong" shade of brown on the configurator. It looks a little too warm as opposed to a cooler brown.
This has been the problem as far as seeing the 992 in certain exterior colors and interior colors. Very hard to pick without seeing them...
Thanks for your input!
