Default Which silver for 992 cab with red top

Hi, I understand the answer is a personal choice, but was hoping to hear opinions and would appreciate any related pics. I will be trading my 2017 991.2 S jet black metallic / black / black for new 992 (awaiting allocation since August). I will likely get a 992 S cabriolet , silver / red top / black, bordeaux interior. Any opinions, for silver preference- dolomite silver vs gt silver? Appreciate any comments, and of course, available photos. Thanks much

GT silver, it has a lot of depth to it.
I had one, miss it.

I’d go GT. I feel like Dolomite has a little too much blue and IMHO clashes with the red. My Spyder is GT silver, so I’m admittedly biased.

I spent a lot of time looking at cars in the two silvers. They are very different IMO. Dolomite is significantly brighter and has a blue tint, GT has a fair amount of black in it. I’d focus on what silver you prefer. I’ve seen both with a red top, and they both work well.

Agree but I would definitely go GT with a red.
Nice Avatar, BTW.

I know you are looking for a silver, but Agate with Bordeaux makes for a nice combo also.

Also understand that the red top is a different red than the Bordeaux interior.

i think the Bordeaux interior is pretty close to the Bordeaux top.

Had not considered Agate, but that is beautiful

I don't really like the Agate with red as much on the targa. On the Targa, I would go GT and navy top.

We have Dolomite with blue targa top and graphite blue interior. To us, the Dolomite is a brighter and more vibrant colour and was an easy pick against blue interior and top …but if I was to order with red top, GT I think would be a better combination - deeper ..almost tone down the red red/black.

Agree with every word. GT all the way, Dolomite too blue. Also biased.

Thank you for your responses and pics of your beautiful cars. Any pics available of dolomite silver with red top?
