Carmine goes well with Black and Mojave Beige.

It’s your car. Do what you want. My first Porsche was Guards Red with a beige interior. I had complements every day and I loved it. (The colors and the complements)

I think brown would go fantastically with guards red. Carmine being darker though, Mojave might connect more nicely as they said. However I'd still take truffle over black or grey.

I think Mojave beige would look better with Guards Red, kind of a retro 80's combo.

I think it will look great. Truffle brown is not dark like espresso. I think it will look amazing.

This picture will give you some idea of how a "red" Porsche Speedster with "tan" seats and dash looks.

Having owned both a Carmine red car and a car with Truffle interior (though not both at the same time) - I'd say pass unless you can see it in person to confirm that it works. FWIW, on Oak Green, the Truffle interior looks awesome.

I think Cognac or Cashmere colored leather would look very nice with Carmine. Might be worth considering Leather to Sample?

Same here. Guards red 996 with beige interior. First Porsche. Probably the least-loved iteration of 911, but a "bad" 911 is better than almost everything else out there. I loved it.

It could work - but simply not the best combo IMO. The two-tone black/mojave would look awesome with it. To dress it up from there you could do black seat centers or even full black deviated stitching.

I think red/brown is a perfect combo. Once again I wish they had an option for more of a caramel brown on Porsches as that's ideal. I've seen the combo with truffle in person and thought it was great... Mojave beige is just too beigey and not rich enough looking for me. Truffle is a bit darker than I'd like but when you sit in the car it feels very very upscale.

I think "guards red" with agate interior is a good looking combination.
