Default Meteor Grey / Cocoa Leather

Anyone have, or seen, this color combination. I think it would look good provided that Meteor Grey has a brown hue to it. Any photos?

Meteor contains, in order of base percentage in the color mix:

Fine Silver, approx 44%
Special Black, approx 35%
Brilliant Silver, approx 15%
Blue, approx 3%
Red, approx 3%

The point is, although it does have a slight trace of red to it, it is so minimal, cocoa may not really be the answer.

I actually wondered about this combo myself, since i liked the Seal/Cocoa combo. What color interior are people getting with their Meteors, other than black? Sand beige?

You could try terracotta - works with Slate Gray. you could also try the two-tone combo's, any of which would work.

I researched this a little and the consensus I found was that Cocoa is best with GT Silver due to the brown presence in that silver/grey color. I've seen pics of Cocoa/Slate that looked good also, but for Meteor I think a grey or black interior would be more compatible than cocoa.

That is cool. Anywhere to go to see the breakdown for other colors?

I've seen pics of Meteor with Natural Brown and it looks very nice.

How the hell did you know that?!! What's in Seal Gray? I ask because sometimes I swear that in the dark/shadows it looks "purple-y".

I second your sentiment.

I have a meteor C4S coupe with black/carbon due in late Feb/early March.

I had originally wanted to do a forest green type of car with beige/carbon ... but, after seeing a couple non-911 Porsches with some sort of green, I changed my mind and decided on meteor. I'm happy with my choices.

I had considered other interior colors .... "non standard" colors .... like cocoa and other browns as well as beige. One has to really see these colors in person. The color swatches at the dealer are not enough and poor at best. The website is also not good. All color combo's need to be seen 'in the flesh'.

I think because meteor has such dark tones, that black is the only good choice. Of course I'm a bit prejudiced.... but, that's fine.

Personally, I'd like to see anyone with a gray car with beige, cocoa or some other 'non standard' color. Any pix available?
