I'm also voting for Meteor. I had a Seal Gray car and it was very similar - silver in some light, very gray in other light. That's a gorgeous combo - DO IT!!

Like most grays, though, you need to see it in different lighting conditons to determine if you like it.

Thx for the info,

How did you confirm the color combo with
Porsche Exclusive??

Look at Meteor under full sun, awesome metalic 3d look. You have to view these colors in person, pics don't do justice at all.

I have GT Silver and the coupe in the 3rd photo could pass for GT Silver? The Cab is too dark for GT Silver but almost to light for Meteor. Looking at photos on the internet vs in person can be a totally different experience just like you guys already mentioned......both awesome colors that you can't go wrong with!

I don't think Robert will mind, he just picked up this stunning Meteor 997 Turbo last week:

That's the most accurate representation of meteor under full sunlight that I've seen to date. Definitely the same color I saw at the dealer. The depth of the metal flake is captured perfectly in those photos. Eirc, you did everyone a service by posting them.

It's meteor and it depends on how you photograph it. In direct light, it has a lot of depth and metallic in it. At night or in indirect light, it looks dark grey. Most web photos show meteor with a taupe tint in it and it really doesn't have any taupe at all. Here are some pics of my meteor turbo. These are taken with flash so you can see that it closely matches what's in the Porsche photo.
