I've got Cocoa/GT Silver pairing and love it. It's a colour that has such range, I've seen loads of pics in the sunlight and it's never really that Brown. In the darker light, it darkens right up to almost black.
It's a nice alternative to black
When I began my 997 search, I wanted a silver/black combo. I came across a local listing for silver/cocoa - checked it out and loved it. Reminds me a horse saddle or baseball glove - just has a rich/unique look to it. I think it looks particularly nice on white cabs. Here are a few pics on my 2005 997.1 (exterior is arctic silver).
Depending on the exterior color I wouldn't mind it at all. It adds some character. But I suppose just about any color interior has the potential of attracting/disinviting buyers.
I have it and I love it. It was a quite expensive option when new I understand and I am not sure about leather quality but on mine it's perfect. No creases, cracks or fading. I have full leather including a pillars, dashboard, doors, rear seat sides etc.

The cocoa leather is beautiful. The only thing that detracts from it in my opinion is the color of the carpet that's used with it, which is a lighter shade and looks washed out by comparison. I think it would actually look better if tge brown carpwr was darker, like the seats, or a contrasting interior color - maybe one that either goes with the exterior paint color (depending on what that was) or a beige or natural brown.
Cocoa interior is beautiful. Had it in my 997.2. With Creme White exterior, doesn't get much better IMO. Also, FWIW, my car sold on Rennlist in under an hour posting. So, it doesn't apear Cocoa is undesirable at all.
I have the cocoa leather interior in my 2008 Targa 4S with Arctic Silver Metallic exterior. I didn’t think I’d like it until I saw it. It’s very rich looking. It’s obviously personal preference. You need to see it out doors and sit in it before you’ll know, but I like it.
