Interior for gentian blue exterior on GTS cab build
First time Porsche buyer. GTS cab build. I think I have read the relevant threads but am looking for some additional advice on interior choices. I do understand lots of this is personal preferences, but the three options I am considering
A. Leather Interior in Dark Night Blue/Chalk - I can not find any good photos of this. I am worried about dye transfer and marks on the chalk but think this would look sweet
B. Black leather with deviated stitching in speed blue. Solves the wear concern, and I like the subtle effect of the stiching.
C. Club Leather Interior in Basalt Black/Classic Cognac (Semi-Aniline). I think this could be a super nice option. Gives me a lighter interior, but no so light as chalk. Question is how well the cognac works with the gentian. In this version would do all leather options.
Any thoughts and photos or other suggestions dry welcome!

First, I think you’ll love Gentian Blue on your GTS Cab, and second I vote for Option B on your list.
For my 2023 GB Turbo S Cab build, I went with black leather with Speed Yellow deviated stitching with yellow Tach and Chrono to match the yellow PCCB’s. I think the deviated stitching looks best when matched with the Tach & Chrono to break up the dark interior. Have fun with your selections and here are a few pics from my ride:

good suggestion on tach but they only offer arctic blue, not speed blue. I’ll think if I want the stitching to pop out more. Thanks for the pics!
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 have slate/chalk on a targa albeit only 1800 miles but no issues yet W/ dye transfer & I wear jeans. There's a couple threads that persuaded me as I was also worried about the longevity, usually a black interior person.
Lmk if you want any detailed photos, with the 930 package it's a very luxurious interior.

would love to see. Everyone keeps saying slate gray/chalk. Does anyone have a view on dark night blue? Is that a new option?

I think it is a new option. I am going with Lugano Blue exterior with slate grey/chalk interior. I initially was thinking dark night blue/chalk but think that might go better with a lighter exterior color (sales people thought so too). BTW, I have chalk interior with Gentian Blue exterior on my Macan and have had no problems with dye transfer, although I don't wear jeans that often and clean the leather regularly, but still looks good after 10,000 miles. Did you look at the color combo in the showroom? I was able to put the colors together to finally conclude on colors. The grey looked darker in the showroom than in the configurator.
