Cobalt Blue? What Interior?
Has anyone seen a Cobalt Blue 997tt or other 997 variant? I like Cobalt Blue on the computer screen and on the chip in the book but I'm wondering how it looks full scale. What interior looks good with Cobalt Blue? I'm leaning toward Natural Grey with Stone Grey or Black as possibilities. Terracotta looks like it might make a nice combination but I wonder if it might be too "orange-y" and if there might be so much of it that it ends up looking a little garish with the blue. Any advice on colors before I complete my order?

Any color as long as it's not boring Black. Sea Blue, Stone Gray or Natural Gray would all look good. Sea Blue with Cobalt would be "relatively" unique and, IMO, would look VERY sharp!

Saw a cobalt/blk 997S cab at dealer today. Looked awesome on showroom floor. Outside, midnight blue cayman was next to cobalt cayman. In sunlight, I couldn't pick a favorite as they both looked great. Having seen both colors next to each other in the sunlight, I now have no clue which one I would order whereas before I was certain cobalt was the one.

I got Cobalt blue with natural grey (which looks 98% black). I think that's a great combination to have. I saw a few other combinations such as Cobalt/terracotta (really daring combination to have), Cobalt/stone grey (a bit too plain if you ask me) and Cobalt/sand brown (interesting but not my cup of tea), and of course you can't go wrong with Cobalt/black. Sea blue would complement Cobalt blue pretty well. For me, I think Cobalt blue/natural grey is the best combo but I'm biased.

Cobalt/sea blue sound the most appealing to me.
... atomic80- please post a few high res or close up pics of that natural grey leather interior if you're able to.
