Default Interior Colors - I am colorblind

Hello folks, I have a Recaro Cup seat for sale and for the love of me I cannot understand what color it is - if Natural Brown or Cinnamon Brown.

Have they ever made 996 GT3 with Natural Brown interior?

I believe there's at least one 6-3 out there with a Natural Brown interior. Arena Red I think.

They did Natural Brown in the 996 GT3, but not many.

The PTS Minerva Blue GT3 I've seen had Natural Brown from what I recall.

I had one. It was so sweet. Not as “sporty” as black but looked really, really nice in person.

^^^ Yes it was my friend. The natural leather option is soo much better than the standard leather (vat dyed not painted, like 99% of most automotive leather). Lack of paint makes the leather very supple land long wearing.

HDA,

That's natural brown. Love that color. One of the best combo I've seen on a GT3 was Slate Grey with natural brown interior, followed by Atlas Grey with natural brown. I agreed it's on the luxurious side but I dig it. The problem is, It's sensitive to leather conditioner so it looks bad when it's not properly maintained. your pics above is beautiful & in great shape.

maybe it was special ordered

That pie chart was built from data that Rennlister, Bauer, collected from Porsche Corporate data. The titles are what Porsche AG assigned to the base and option packages and don't detail the exact color as the company has done in some other cases for leather, carpet, and trim.
