Cocoa is amazing. It is my top interior color. Very rich and elegant. A gentleman's interior.

I can't take the credit, but whoever specked out my car certainly had a good eye. Cocoa rag top over Ruby Red Metallic, Sand Beige full leather interior and then they selected the Deviated Carpet, Cocoa. It makes for a really well balanced play of colors that I love. As soon as I get it out of winter storage, hopefully this week, I'll take a couple of pics to post.

You likely have the only set of cocoa folding bucket seats from the factory in existence. These are unobtainium. Nicely done. What model is your car: Carrera, GT3, GTS?

Silver over cocoa is an amazing combination. My only problem would be finding more leather parts. Easy to find more parts for black but rarely do I see cocoa.

Some buyers want something more interesting than black or grey, particularly on a 911. You might find a smaller audience, but one that is prepared to pay more because they actively want a more interesting interior and it's obviously harder to find. That said, I'm biased because I have the truffle brown club leather in the Taycan, and think it just makes the interior seem more special. Brown and beige work really well with blue exteriors. Cocoa and Espresso are great with exterior colours like GT Silver and Carrara White.

Back in 2010/11 had a cocoa on GT silver 7.2 cab. Was stunning. Only cab I ever owned.
