More important than opinions are pictures of 997s in the various colors you're interested in. Look at enough photographs, or cars in person, and the right color will make itself known to you.
Good luck with your choice.

And more important than pictures is actually seeing these colors in person. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it can also lie to you with some of those words. Better to see and evaluate in person, both in the light and in the dark.

I would have to say that Slate edges out the other two. The current issue (Oct/Nov #316) of Christophorus mag carries photos of a drop-dead gorgeous slate gray car starting on page 28. (I emailed the photo editor to confirm the exact color! 
) Combined with the dark interior, so aggressive but so rich.
