Basalt is great. Lots of character and depth.
The regular black that I have . . not so much - shiny but hardly any depth.

Meteor Grey, not the flashiest color, not the most sporting color perhaps. But it's great at hiding dirt, and it's virtually invisible to police in a sea of skittles. Just depends what you need it to be best at!
But yeah, I concede, pretty boring

Interesting thread, especially with all the black, gray, white, silver cars posted. I have nothing against those colors, in general I find them non-descript unless it's a unique shade of that color, perhaps GT silver or Basalt black or Graphite gray or the car is paired with a unique interior color, cocoa, cork, mahogany, red, marine blue. We know Porsche is the master of automobile colors, check Rennbow. Clearly, they can think beyond black, gray, white or silver. White reminds me of 1960 era refrigerators. Also, white. black, silver and gray are the colors of everything driving on the PA Turnpike, other than me in my 911 (see below) when I'm out for a spin. When I go for a walk in the neighborhood, I see at least 3 each of the following: Black, Gray, Silver, White all of them SUVs. I agree beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And when looking for a car, buy the one that speaks to you as Nathan Merz says. Full disclosure, my garage currently houses a 2011 Arctic silver Spyder over black partial leather sport seats and look away: a Guard's red (I can feel the comments now!) 2008 C4 S. arrest me red, the most common Porsche color ever, how can you have a red car? For the 997 cars Guards red was less than 10% of the production run. The car speaks to me. Full supple leather, deviated stitching, red seat belts, red instrument gauges, factory aero kit, illuminated carbon fiber door sills. I yammer on, sorry. The point is to each their own. I love them all.
