One consideration might be choosing an option with a dark dashboard. In my limited time test driving two 992.1 Carrera’s back to back on a sunny day there was significant glare thrown up on the windshield from a grey-ish dash and interior vs dark. That experience made the configuration choice easy for me.
Gentian Blue is such a beautiful color, without being too bold.
I have the full leather Mojave Beige interior, which I feel is very classy with the Blue exterior.
I don’t quite understand why everyone likes black interiors? This color hides all of the details in the design of any car’s interior.
I know why dealers like to spec black interiors for their inventory cars— it hides scratches and dirt on vehicles that will be leased or when a car comes back as a trade-in, so it is easier to sell the car to the next customer at a high price. But when people spec their own car, why opt for black?
So, my humble suggestion is to go with a lighter interior that helps showcase the beautiful lines, stitches, piping, and trim in the cabin. (Deviated stitching helps a little, but not to the extent a lighter interior color does). Lighter colors make the car feel more spacious and less claustrophobic. The interior should be inviting and comfortable. After all, this is where you spend 100% of your time while driving.
I couldn't agree more. Black and blue looks like a bruise to me. My SA couldn't believe how many factory configured GB cars come with black. Here is my suggestion:
After digesting these great suggestions and spending like hours in the configurator and driving my family bananas, I think I am leaving strongly to the black/cognac club leather OR black with speed blue stitching. I am still going to look at the dark night blue/chalk but I doubt I can see this live before I have to lock in. I think the slate gray is too light in the dash for me.
There is a used car in manhattan porsche with the cognac I am going to go take a peek at. That combo feels very classic, is not all black, but doesn’t have the risk for me of the chalk.

what color is that? I don’t see it on a GTS. I see you like the 930…
i went with the Cohiba Brown under Black two tone (Exclusive Manufaktur). It's a couple shades darker than Congac, which was too light for my tastes.
sorry if noob question, but I do not see that color in the configuration tool. Is there some other set of custom/permium colors somewhere? Or is this from prior years?

Black with Mojave Tan (I think). I haven't looked at the 992.2 configurator, but I am sure there is an option for a lighter brown with black dash. As another poster noted, black dash is key to avoid reflections.

It's an Exclusive Manufaktur option. Talk with your Sales Associate and they will have the info on how to order custom Leather colors. Be prepared to open your wallet a little more.......

ah, I wonder how many more doors there are to open here
If you want a specific shot happy to help just various photos lighting showing the interior. Also the group here did confirm for me the 991 chalk is the same, if you can find an older vehicle to look at. Seeing a 2018 with 30k miles sealed it for me, looked great in terms of wear. Very little glare and in my mind similar to black on the front windshield with the slate.
A little over 3 years in and can say that the slate/ chalk interior is great. I haven’t had any transfer from blue jeans and recently did a leather cleaning of the driver seat for the first time as it was showing a little dirt on the left side of the seat where the most “wear” shows from getting in and out. The slightly lighter slate dash compared to black does tend to hide dust a little better and I’ve had no issues with windshield reflections.
No matter what interior color you get, add the 930 package. It really elevates the look of the seats for not much money relatively speaking for Porsche options.

Fully agree night & day difference and "reasonable" as porsches option go

Appreciate the update seats (and car) look great! Are you super careful getting in & out?
