I have had silver, seal grey and now black. My future turbo will be either black or white. White looks soooo hot with black top, interior and tinted windows. And ofcourse black wheels

I've had orang/rot, schwartz (3), silber (2), grey (2) and am now leaning toward midnight blau with natural braun or atlas mit schwartz. Full leather, naturlich!!

I am absolutely in love with my Slate Grey Metallic over black leather.
Impressively rich color which changes depending on the light and really buffs to an amazing shine.

However, as my Porsche-phile quotient has increased, a few colors that I have seen have really impressed me.

* White exterior
- initial reaction "What? I don't live in Florida"/"I am not a girl"/"I live in SF and don't like the implication..."
- current reaction "Very classic Porsche color and sets off dark interiors/black wheels very nicely"

* Natural Brown Leather interior
- initial reaction "looks like Beige v2.0"
- current reaction "gorgeous in person, especially with light exterior"

* Red Interior
- A bit too red for my taste, but still has great potential. A friend just bought a Cayman white on red and it is stunning to look in with the door open.

Still not a fan of Atlas (the blue/purple schizoid thing doesn't work for me) but I don't really like blue shades on cars (though the Lapis is growing on me).

If I could order a white over natural brown/alcantara hybrid sport buckets Boxster Spyder, I would be in love...

Might consider white or red, but probably silver again. It's classic, attractive in any light, and practical. I love the darker colors too and have owned black and the '84 vintage ruby red metallic but they're much more work and I'm past that stage. Love the cocoa interior in my current car.

Let's see...my first P-car was arctic silver, then it was arctic silver again, and now it's another arctic silver. It's quite obvious what color my next P-car will be. Contrary to what many have claimed, my color choice has nothing to do with ease of resale or being a "safe" color. I simply love the classic lines of a 911, which are further accentuated by sparkling silver.

I'm thinking Paint to sample in a burnt orange. Something that pops but doesn't
glow from a mile away. I currently have GT Silver and I don't mind it. That's about all I can say about it. Sometimes I see other color cars and think mines a little to tame for a porsche.

Despite its age, it was a good post, and I felt that you might have a picture of the red one.
