I think a lot has to do with how it's kept. My 81k mi C4S with midnight blue interior was in perfect condition.

Arctic Silver with Flamenco Red 993
I am familar with an arctic silver and flamenco red 1995 993 that sold in the Philadelphia area a few years ago. 13K miles and original owner. It took over two years for the original owner to sell the car for what was top dollar at the time. Ultimately it did sell for "all the money" to the one person who wanted that color combination. And interesting point on that car is that the original selling dealer who ordered the car for the original owner required the original owner to buy the car or forfeit their (large) deposit since the dealer thought it would be difficult to sell it to another person if the buyer backed out when the car was delivered. I like the red interiors, however the red dash in the 993 makes for a lot of red. If the dash pad/top was black, it might not look sooooo red in there.

I looked at a white TT w/Flamenco Red interior (looks similar to the car in the pics Rhino posted) late last year...I thought it looked stunning but the wife vetoed it.
IMHO silver w/a chestnut (ie brick) red interior is a classic Porsche combination and looks "right", but any other exterior color (i.e. white, black, etc), people will have very polarized opinions...they will either love or hate the combo so it will not be the easiest to sell if the time ever comes. Just my $0.02

Arctic Silver with Chestnut Interior
Here's a 1997 993 in Arctic Silver with Chestnut Interior with sports seats. The color did seem to vary depending on the lighting conditions - sometimes it appeared quite red and other times it looked like terracotta. Very german/european. Should have kept this one - had sports seats, 030, motorsound, 18's etc. Neat car.

I'm as hard as they come in what I subject my Chestnut interior to......part time delivery vehicle/not exactly cleaned up pretty when I'm ready to make the drive home/etc. But after almost four years it's holding up really, really well. Could stand to swap seatbacks (hard shells) between the seats.
