Default Graphite blue/chalk or truffle brown interior with moonlight bue exterior?

About to finalize my spec for Cayenne S coupe, wondering which interior I should go for.
I like moonlight blue exterior, no worries about it.
I like chalk interior, but the maintenance (with a very young kid) is making me think one more time.
What is your opinion, switch to truffle to stick with chalk interior.
I plan to keep my car for 6+ years.
For reference, build code: http://www.porsche-code.com/PPUIIZA3

Thanks!

our 2021 Cayenne Midnight blue with Graphite blue/Chalk interior does not have graphite blue seat centers - I sure you could spec it that way - but the if you just check the "Graphite Blue/Chalk" interior option you will get 100% chalk seats - the blue accents in the interior are on non-seat elements of the interior

see picture below of our actual 2021 Cayenne delivery April of 2021…to get "blue" seat centered you would have to check the appropriate "deviated" seat centers option and provision appropropriately…

I was/am going with above combination (no blue center parts on the seating surfaces). Thanks for sharing. How is this color holding up?

I have a moonlight blue exterior with truffle/cohiba brown two-tone interior and would get this combo again. The leather smells fresh even after 1 yr of ownership. We also have two large dogs that we regularly transport and I have no scratches on the interior. Just remember to clean the leather using very mild soap water every 2-3 months.

rj, you let them just jump on the leather without a cover and it’s holding up that well? Your review makes me contemplate club….

No sir, I have an all weather seat cover for the back seats. However, the front seats are unprotected and they do jump in the front passenger seat from time to time when its empty.

Club leather is quiet possibly the best interior I have ever sat in. You will not regret getting it.

For me:

Never a light colored interior with kids. Probably never a light colored interior until at least age 75, and then the answer is "maybe".

Brown (Cohiba) or darker.

If you have a valet or pay to have your vehicle regularly well-detailed, get anything you want.

I've got Moonlight Blue Metallic coupe with Graphite Blue/Chalk and it's a great combination, but light seats get dirty very quickly from clothes and especially from jeans. Extra care is required.
And it looks much colder

BTW don't forget to add at least the SportDesign front apron. The base one looks really weird. I've chose the basic option and I really regret it now

wow! Your looks spectacular! If you don’t mind, could you please share front and backside of your car. Wanted to see how the regular front/back looks like in moonlight blue.

Go with the truffle brown interior. It looks great and will require less maintenance than the chalk. I have mine with moonlight blue exterior and truffle brown interior. Quality of the leather is good. Only had it for two months+ though, so can’t comment on long term durability.
