I have "Special leather Cocoa" in my car. The option code for that color in the 2009 ordering guide is RA, the same code shown for "Special leather cocoa" in the car configurator on the Porsche website for 2010. I don't think there has been any change, and that "natural leather cocoa" is a misprint on the dealer's part.
The flash picture doesn't really do it justice. In person, in natural light there is no mottling visible and the color is uniform as others with this interior have mentioned. The deviating light stitching shows up better in person too. Personally, I think it looks great with Arctic Silver, and is a nice change from the usual silver/black combo I had on my '99 996, but that's just me.

Marbled or not, Cocoa is an excellent choice as it looks really rich and classy in person. It offers great contrast to Artic or GT Silver exterior.

Yeah, I ordered the sport bucket option along with the cocoa leather. Although everything looked ok to me for ordering the seats in cocoa, I later learned that a couple of people at my dealership (not my salesman) were convinced they would show up in black because that was the only sport bucket color they had ever seen. Even the Porsche rep who introduced me to my car at the factory remarked that he'd only seen that seat/color combo a couple of times.

The contrast between the cocoa and carbon weave looks great.
That & the Carrera Sport wheels - lovely dude.
