1. Gentian blue (but with silver trim around the windows). 2. Tie chaulk or GT silver (skip Dolemite, GT is a better color with a good story/Porsche history).
Night blue or chalk are both nice colors but the “matte look” will be outdated soon. Night blue is a timeless color and less popular so “more exclusive”. Forget the Bordeaux for sure. My business partner and I have each one a BMW with red leather and after 4 years will go for an other color for sure.... And, eliminate the black wheels. Too common on too many kind of cars. Outdated from 2020....

The Matte look has been around since the early 2000s , probably even earlier. Don’t see it going out of style anytime soon, probably because there will always be a “new” matte shade every year.
As for the OP, from his three choices, I would say Chalk with Red seats. Or my choices would be Agate Grey with Red, or Agate with Black seats (my build).
I don't know how this ranks in your priorities, but Night Blue is just about like black to keep clean...and it will show swirl marks. Silver is probably the easiest color to own. Chalk, is about like white, so not so bad. With black wheels, it might even look good dirty.
So...If you live in CA and you're going to keep it in a nice indoor space, wash by hand and kiss it goodnight, this is of no concern. If you're going to treat it like a real car and drive the wheels off it, which I heartily suggest, get a light metallic...or possibly Chalk. These make wonderful every-day transportation. It's one thing that makes Porsche such a great car. They are built to be driven daily.
Of all the cars I've seen (and I have probably seen 50 and all of different colours) my ranking would be:
Chalk / Crayon in international markets.
Aventurine Green
Carrara White
Carmine Red
Yellow
The silvers are ok (but if you must, rather go for GT) and the Aventurine looked MUCH better in the flesh than I expected.
For the record, I bought Carrara White (day after launch order)... and my original wanted colour was Gentian Blue until I saw it in the flesh and the way it shows up every smudge/fingerprint/swirls.
I definitely would not go for a red interior - but that is just me... black/chalk sportex is the best interior combo I've seen on a Chalk car.
reading this thread has totally validated my interior / exterior color choice.... I just hope that every other 992 I see on the road isn't a Chalk / Burgundy combo!
look at the build code in my signature and you'll know my answer ... you and I have similar taste except I'm a bit more crazy with the seatbelts
This too is my dream car, and first time buying a NEW 911... I've owned used Porsches in the past... but the investment wasn't anywhere near the amount.
Wow... that's a lot of options, I'm sure you're close to the eventual GT3 / Turbo price range...
Enjoy it, YOLO.

problem is, when you option out a Turbo to that level, now you're in Ferrari range... the dealer had a nice semi-loaded Turbo 2019 model sticker was $229K and didn't have all of that (but did have most of it). And The GT3 is simply to raw a sports car for my needs or wants.
Blue over Red?!!? That’s a Mickey Mouse combo mate!
It looked great at the reveal in Atlanta...............either way the gentian blue is the way to go with the stock colors if you like blue...........red interiors look right with the right exterior, i.e. silver, black and some blues)
Oh Jeez, I hope that there's not a round 3.
Just spec the car the way that YOU actually want it.
If you're looking for someone else to make those decisions, you can just walk onto a dealer lot and buy from inventory. A build is a personal thing and a matter of personal preference. Make the car your own, ie. not the product of a RennList thread and public polling.
