Default Exterior Color Choices?

I am preparing to order a new 4s and have been agonizing over the choice of the exterior color. I have narrowed it down to: Metallic Black or GT Silver. I really like the Midnight Blue, but I prefer a black interior ~ not sure that color combo works.

What Porsche exterior color has the best resale value in the used marketplace?

Black interior goes with pretty much most exteriors. Blue on Black is quite nice in my opinion. As for resale, black, silver or blue all do well.

Why is this hardest part about buying a Porsche?

Im torn between Artic Silver and Midnight Blue at the moment. Artic Silver looks way futuristic and cool, while the Midnight Blue is so dam sexy ...

Here are two threads, the first with Midnight Blue over Sea Blue, and the second one shows Arctic Silver over Sea Blue cab.

I personnally like Midnight Blue with a Black interior; however, I have been told that it is a difficult color combination come resale time (dealership wouldn't want it as a trade-in). As for the other interior color possibilities I think the beige looks nice but would be difficult to keep clean, I still need to see the Sea-Blue in real life, and I am not a fan of the Grey interior.

Black interiors are best for resale. Black or Silver exteriors are the best bet for resale. I think my next 911 will wear GT silver.

My 18 July build "S" is Arctic Silver and Cocoa. I have always prefered something other than black or grey and this combination should be subtle as well as a bit different. My only second thought has been wether I should have gone for the GT Silver.
Too bad they no longer offer a red interior as this with silver is, at least to my eye, spectacularly beautiful and has a nice traditional aura about it.
