Default What is this color??

Ok .. full disclosure ... I'm colorblind.

I bought the leather side panels to go with my black leather dash interior. The seller called them black. Honestly my kids said black until I put it next to the black panel. I bought these a year ago, pulled them out and the color was off.

These look blue? Can you please give me the color or color code, so I can resale.

Thanks in advance.

A couple of the pictures with the "lighter" grey look like my stone grey (in my black/stone grey 2 tone) but the others look darker.


So I'm not sure if it's actually a darker grey or the lighting that makes it look different.

Could be metropol blue. Hard to tell with light. (or maybe even sun faded black?)

in this thread, seems like we are all colorblind, lol

is there a part number on the back of the panel? sometimes Porsche uses slightly different part number by 1 digit for different colors of material.. can look it up by part number to confirm what it should be

No part numbers that indicate color. It's usually 3 numbers and letter

It almost looks like 'sea blue'. But so hard to tell without outdoor lighting or better yet, have it next to a sample piece.

Yeah, strange that it has no color code... Looking at what was available in PET, it's gotta be one of:

Black/Grey
Stone Grey/Stone Grey
Sea Blue/Grey
Darkgrey Natural/Grey

In the pics, it looks like the thread color is different than the material covering the panel, so that would eliminate stone grey/stone grey, but that could also be just the lighting in the photo...

I have Dark Grey Natural Leather on my Silver '09...that does not look like dark grey natural. Looks more brown to me, but very hard to tell without perfect lighting.

My interior is sea blue and it looks similar. Hard to be 100% sure but seems likely.
