Default Midnight Blue Metallic with Sea Blue Interior

I did a search for pics, but not much came up. Does anyone have pics of this combo? I'm not a blue fan, but it looks to be a fairly dark color, so maybe its ok. Also curious about the interior... It looks to be hard to photograph.

Would also be interested in seeing just the sea blue interior shots..

I think blue is one of the hardest colors to photograph well. Many pics make it appear that thre are 2 or 3 different colors of blue inside. I have attached one of the best representations of Sea Blue I have seen on the web. It is on a Carrera White car but should give you a good idea of the color.

I'm glad you said that, there was someone last week that wanted a picture of my Sea blue interior and so far I have not gotten a picture that is true to color. I really lik the sea blue, mine is mated with an artic silver exterior, but it is hard to capture the actual color in a picture. By the way I have the standard leather in mine. I saw a car with the full leather in Sea blue and it is darker, more black and less blue.

My '06 C2S is midnight blue w/sea blue interior. GR997S's picture of the exterior looks very realistic. The blue is so dark as to sometimes appear black. The sea blue in Gota911's picture is most accurate on the driver's side; the passenger seat does not have that green/gray tinge.

It's a great combo, very hard to photograph, always looks light. In real life it is very dark, more of an ink color. I'll try and put up some pics. I had a lot of reservations when I ordered it, but VERY happy with the 'one off' combo
FWIW, I have seen one 997.1s in my combo who ordered it after seeing mine, looks really good.

Jack, wow, I didn't know that the Sea Blue Full Leather was darker than the standard leather. Learn something every day.

I was surprised also as I saw the full leather Sae blue at another dealership after mine was ordered without ever seeing the color. My wife and I were very happy when ours arrived and it was one shade lighter than that full elather example we had seen. By the way I will be coming through Dallas Monday morning on my way to Birmingham and the Porsche Driver's School. For an old guy I am as excited as a kid at Christmas.

Jack,

I am not sure why Sea Blue isn't ordered more often, because IMO, it is vary rich color. I know some don't like blue cars so that is a factor. However, I think if more people had the chance to see it in person, it would end up on more cars. I saw the Carrera Red Natural leather in person about a month ago and I was surprised by how much I liked the color. If I were ordering a car today, I would get Carrara White over Sea Blue, but I have to admit that Carrera Red Natural would be whispering in my ear telling me to "Go Red."

From every thing I have read, you are going to have a blast at PSDS. I am surprised that you are taking the northern route (IH-10 to IH-20) from east of SA to get to Birmingham. It is about 50 miles longer that taking the southern route (IH-10 to IH-59 to IH-20). I guess you have your reason for doing so.

As you are passing through Dallas, honk as you get near my house and I'll wave!
