What's your favorite color combo for a 993 (doesn't have to be what you own)?
For me: Silver/black interior on a car I'd want to own (and do - both my 993 & daily driver).
Speed yellow/black interior on a car I'd simply admire (but would never own). I love looking at Speed Yellow on other people's cars, but it's too loud for me personally, not that there's anything wrong with that. Also a huge sucker for Arena Red w/ Black interior. Kept a photo of a 993 in that color taped to my computer monitor for 2 years before I found my current car.
There's so many great colors that I've seen over the years in pics and in person on a 993, but if you had to choose one, which is your favorite color combo?
I'm glad I held out for my favorite combination as opposed to buying a local car that just happened to be available, but not in silver/black.
I prefer silver because it's generic and recedes into the background well = stealth. It also hides the pollen, dust and dirt the best from what I have found. My wife's black Acura is very hard to keep clean. My 2 silver cars are much easier. The black interior hides the dirt really well too. I've had it with hard to take care of beige and grey interiors. Where I live, we get tons of mud, snow and muck much of the winter. Black hides it well. No more dingy beige floor mats anymore - which was a pet peeve of mine. White lint is my only enemy.
And you?

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

When shopping for the turbo I only had one criteria; it had to have black interior. These cars have such great lines that when polished & waxed, any color looks spectacular.

+1. When I was young, the cheapest cars were white, but now I think the classiest are white with a light interior. Plus they are fast ... just look at the result of the Rolex 24 race. A white Porsche powered DP won.

White with black interior is my favorite. Porshe's factory racing color is often white. Easy to keep clean, and tends to be a very hard paint (had Guards Red, it was very soft). Does not show marks or dings very readily.
Silver is tough to beat too, in my opinion.
I like Arena Red on the turbos, it is growing on me.
Love the turquoise blues, though not sure I could own one....but beautiful to look at on a turbo.
