Best exterior color for full bordeaux red interior?
Hey everyone, I was wondering which exterior color would be best for full bordeaux red interior?
I am 100% set on the interior but I am going back and forth on the exterior color.
I was thinking GT silver, Jet Black Metallic, Chalk, or Carrera White
This is a Cabriolet S build with black top, black headlights, high gloss black wheels, black badge, clear tailights etc (pretty much blacked out)

I think chalk looks great with that interior. Next would be GT silver.

Black and Boreaux is such a nice combo...only thing i dont like is the Guards Red calipers, which i have on my TT. I plan on painting the calipers Arena Red Metallic, which matches the interior and porsche crest. Otherwise, you could go with black calipers.

My top 2 right now are Jet black metallic or GT silver.
One concern I have with GT silver is maybe it will look too old of a color for me (in my late 20s) otherwise, it shows off the curves of the car really well which I like.
One concern I have with Jet black metallic was maintenance so I may have to stealth PPF this. Otherwise, I love the look of the black and much more suited for my age.
Chalk - One of my dream colors until I saw it in person (too flat of a color for me for the price and its hard to see the curves)
White - Too feminine according to friends & family

My rec is Chalk, though I’d also suggest the red top as well.
I may be a little biased though.

GT silver and Bordeaux is a classic Porsche combo for me.
Chalk and Bordeaux naturally go together
White and Red work, but it’s high contrast and just a *smidge* 80s looking to me.
Black goes with everything. Black with red interior is a classic combination, veering on a little stereotypical.

Bottom line...its a versatile interior. Just have to pick a neutral exterior colour.
You are in your 20s, so you definitely have the time to maintain a black exterior. I have full PPF.

Jet Black Metallic with Bordeaux consistently fetches the highest value when it comes time to sell it. It’s very desirable.
Silver is a good classic choice, if not fetching quite the same dollars.
Chalk/crayon is played out. It looks very nice with a red interior, but it’s no longer the “IT” color.
Get what you want.

Silver with red is classic and is gorgeous-
However be aware that should you need a section repainted-it is extremely difficult to get a perfect match due to the metallic flakes which are never reapplied at the same angle of the original paint-hence reflection off light is different.

anything on the black & white spectrum works great. white, chalk, silver, agate gray, black, etc.
others can work as well, but they have a tendency to be a tad aggressive (just a lot of color to take in).
