Meridian is a gorgeous color. Forgiving to dirt and swirls as most silvers, but distinctly different from Arctic and Polar.

Where Arctic has a black base with Silver, Polar has a blue base with Silver, Meridian has a rose undertone, just enough to say it was 'blushing' while not being red at all.

I've seen it on 996 Coupe, Boxster S and 996 Cab. Stunning. Best combination I saw was Meridian with Cinnamon leather on a Boxster S with Black soft top. Absolutely amazing.

In the sun the color appears more toward Arctic, but in the right light you see its differences. Picks up a lot of the colors of the sky (except at night, of course)

You really have to see it on a vehicle to appreciate it. I've got it on the BumperPlugs if you need to see it, but a full car view of the color would be in order.

i had a meridian 2001 turbo w/ cinnamon interior, pretty nice, i was sick of artic and metropole blue my usual. color looks bronze/silver. Cinnamon however is a pretty bright brown and hard to keep clean compared to darker colors but not as bad as tan. it does look great with the light wood package, i had wood wheel and small pkg.

when you go to sell a meridian car, advertise it as silver becuase no potential buyer will have a clue about meridian and you won't get calls -- you can explain once they call.

Do you think the original poster might have found what he was looking for by now?
