Default Sea Blue & Palm Green???

Anyone seen these interior colors in any type of 997 publications, photos, etc?? I have seen the Palm Green in a Cayenne.......pretty nice color IMO.
Wondering what the blue will look like.......

I'd be interested in seeing Sea Blue as well. My car is ordered in Arctic Silver with Sea Blue interior. I still have a couple of weeks to change things if I have to.

I wouldn't change it. The silver on blue combo is one of my favorites.
As long as it's a medium to a dark blue I'd love to have it. Just hope it
isn't one of those funky colors Porsche can come up with now and then.
I love Metropol blue, hope the Sea Blue is close.

Blue interiors work very well with Polar Silver, since it has a blue undertone. Arctic works with blue, black is better.

Here is sea blue from the early Karmann Ghia days....

LOL........do you think it will look the same??

Your right, Polar Silver on Blue is awesome. Had an opportunity to ride in a 996 Turbo Cab.....Polar Silver, blue top, blue interior.......gorgeous!

I hope that is not the same blue. If so, black will be the choice.

I could swear I saw a 997 color chart somewhere (maybe it was Cayenne) with these new colors, but I have searched around and can't find it now. I think it is out there somewhere.

Someone did post a picture or two on the Cayenne list of the Palm Green interior, the big mystery appears to be Sea Blue......here is the Palm......

I was at a Porsche Zentrum in Stuttgart yesterday, and they had 3 997s with Arctic Silver exteriors and full leather (2,710 Euro) sea blue interiors. The combination looked great and is one that I would order! Surprisingly, sea blue is a fairly dark blue. It is definitely darker than the pictures above.

Default Sea Blue

In Rome on business and saw the Sea Blue today with Arctic Silver. Very nice combination. The blue is very dark and with the door of the car closed it looks black. Very rich look IMHO
