Seal grey is also good too. Pity only Agate grey is available on the 991s.

I have black and like black, though I also like Atlas Grey, Midnight Blue, Seal Gray and Carrera white.

If I hit the lottery I would have a car of various vintages in each of these colors.

Jawohl!

Even this guy knows it; he parked his grey car right there to look cool.

Carrara white, not Carrera, and cocoa leather looks good to my eye. Macadamia too. Mexico Blue is gorgeous. But in the end, I am a little partial to Atlas gray.

As Melbourne attempted to clarify, the Porsche color is known as CARRARA WHITE, as in the town of Italy where CARRARA MARBLE comes from. Carrera is a race in Mexico that they named their cars after.

So I'm in the Caribbean, drunk all day. Have not checked on this post in a few days, but I have a few observations.

1. Black is still the best color
2. If I posted this on the 996 forum, I would have been made fun of for such a stupid topic, then the conversation would have turned into whether the IMS was bad, then they would have made fun of my man hood.

It is a bit of a silly topic, but there's no need to let things get ugly! Don't worry, I won't make fun of you for buying a boring, black car.
