Opinion needed re: color choice
I have been given an opportunity by a local dealer to spec out their last C4S. I have chosen Meteor Grey but the interior has me a bit stumped. Terracotta or Sand Beige? The only other exterior color that I would consider would be GT Silver metallic which I believe would do best with Sand Beige I believe. Never had a Porsche and find this forum to be one of the most professional ones that Ive run across. I thank you kindly in advance. Drove one last Saturday. AY CARAMBA!!!!! Oh, any reason to wait for the 991?

If you get terracotta, I'd suggest the 2-tone black/terra with deviating carpet on the lower doors and floor. If you like sand beige, I also suggest the 2-tone with deviating carpets. I had a Targa with GT Silver on Stone Gray leather which looked great I thought.
Take your time and look at real examples of the combos you're considering so you have no regrets later.

DEFINITELY do NOT get Sand Beige with Meteor Gray... Taracotta, Black, or Coco would match best.

Unless you use polarized glasses, the dashboard refection on the windshield can be quite annoying on lighter colors. If the car is a keeper (> 5 yrs), natural leather IMHo would be worthwhile upgrade.

Colors are totally personal preference so it's hard to give advice. I don't like the lighter leathers (I previously had light grey in a Boxster S and my wife had sand beige (?) in a Cayenne S. They don't seem to wear as well and show dirt more. Think about the natural leathers or a darker leather (black, dark blue or natural leather). Terracotta is too bright / bold for my taste and would get annoying after a while; beige would also get boring to me.
Good luck, these are tough choices!

Black/Stone Gray Full Leather combo would look great.
If you are strongly considering Terracotta, go a little darker to Carrera Red. It is an AWESOME color that would look great with Meteor Gray. Most pictures of Carrera Red are overexposed and look pinkish. It has a cranberry tint to it. You have to see it in person to get the real color.

Cocoa or Black but I'm pretty conservative when it comes to colors. Red would be nice too if you want something different and bright. Maybe consider red with black carpets to help break it up.

Meteor Grey and full Carrera Red leather would look incredible and would be my choice.
I would do this only if I intended to keep the car for the long haul.
Meteor Grey and Cocoa does look very nice together.
