What's your favorite color combo for a 993 (doesn't have to be what you own)?

Arena Red/Classic Grey. though black interior is second best. That is why it took almost a year to find what I was after as far as color combo and a low milage garage queen.

Champaign and tan/dark brown interior combo--saw it on a 1996 993 TT in Scottsdale, AZ--never seen another like it.
**FOUND A PIC OF IT.
and of course: black/black
midnight blue/black
arena red/black
white/black or tan
My least favorite exterior colors are yellow and silver.
My least favorite interior colors are blue and gray.

I've owned about all the "normal" exterior colors, and I'd really like silver if it wasn't on every third car out there (Porsche or not). Oh well, it's what I've got and at least the interior isn't black.
I like Fly Yellow over Speed, but again it's how that car was built. And lucky for me both RSA's have been Guards Red! (I think one day in my shop in the '80's we had 7 or 8 Guards Red 911's in.......)
So all in all, other than my personal overexposure to certain colors, I like 'em all!
(I can tell you what is flat-out unattractive--the Sepia Brown Targa that's staring at me in the backyard everyday.)

I like blue exteriors. The Maritime Blue is my favorite Porsche exterior color. You can't go wrong with a black interior although I like dark brown (not tan) and dark blue as well.
My car is polar silver with dark blue interior. At first I wasn't sure I'd like the blue interior but it's really grown on me, it works well with the blueish hue of the polar silver.
And yes Steve, I agree with your reasons to get a silver car. After 3 black Porsches, I'm done with black forever

I normally dislike silver only because silver cars are everywhere, but both the Arctic Silver and Polar Silver are pretty nice 'cause they're a bit different than other silvers out there. And esp with keeping clean, for sure.
My favorites are:
Vesuvius/Vesuvio on black
Iris Blue on black
Ocean Blue on black
Slate Gray on black (a rare option color I think?)
I'd like to see the 997 Atlas Gray and with a dark cocoa interior on a 993.

I'd like to have a white, black, or gray with a full leather chestnut interior. Arena red with classic gray is also high on my list. I might even think about switching my cashmere to classic gray if I get the time.

I'll take almost any exterior color (no black paint) as long as the interior is black. My top paint colors are riviera blue, yellow, silver, white, red, mexico blue, not in that order. I could live with cashmere, gray, etc. but I love the purposefulness of an all-black interior in a Porsche.
