Aqua Blue - why no love?
#16
Let's be frank that it's not a popular color although there are some admiring fans out there for it. But color is a personal choice so if one likes it, it being popular is irrelevant unless you start going down the resale road.
Incidentally the yachting blue interior is also rare and one who orders it would have a unique vehicle.

I ordered an Aqua Blue 991 Carrera S with an espresso interior. It should be delivered in April. I've owned a ton of silver and black cars and just wanted a change. My current car is a silver 2006 Cayman S. Aqua Blue looks pretty amazing, especially on the 991. I tried to keep the options to a minimum, but I failed.
The wow factor on this car is the SportTechno wheels painted black. Wow.
Here are the options:
The new 911 Carrera S
Premium Package Plus with Adaptive Sport Seats Plus
Burmester® Audio Package
Aqua Blue Metallic
Espresso natural leather interior
Electric sunroof
Sport Exhaust System
Power Steering Plus
Sport Chrono Package
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) with PASM sport suspension
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
20-inch SportTechno wheel
Wheels painted Black
Adaptive Sport Seats Plus (18-way)
Interior Leather
Natural leather interior
SportDesign steering wheel

Wow, this is exactly the combo I'm looking at to order on my 4S. Today the sales guy said "he will fight with me not to order this combo" as per him aqua/espresso won't go with each other. Did you ever end up getting aqua with espresso?? I see in your avatar that evidently you didn't, why???? And..please post some pics!!!!

Carrera red looks gorgeous with this color.......the blues are beautiful and kudos to you for being different....who wants to see their color on other 911s every day!! I owned a 2006 Arctic Silver.......got bored with this in 2 weeks....cured me of common colors forever!
I can't tell you how nice it is to have a unique color. I'm driving my forever car and color but I'd always go for a different color and for me personally....only PTS!!

Having seen your car up close - it is a fantastic color. And I think it will go great with any of the stock interiors. Saw one with beige - a classic. Why not ordered more - not enough people with imagination and taste. Including me as I went with PtAg.

For me, while the color is fantastic, there is not a good complimentary interior color to go with it. It is usually paired with grey, which I find blah. Black doesnt provide enough contrast. When I think of choosing colors, For me the interior must enhance/ compliment the exterior color, which is hard to do with Aqua.

It's a great color, but I think the medium bright blue just got worn out a bit these last 10 years.
Many car manufactures used it a bunch,....Subaru (STI), Nissan (350Z), etc. For a while it was THE "shock" color for the low/medium range sports car and sold in mass quantity.
Now most of that generation of cars has changed a bit and the bright blue tone has gone mostly away now which is a good thing.
I would have no problem ordering one,....mine would have Platinum wheels, full grey leather, deviate the carpet to blue, with interior pieces painted exterior color. Maybe even think of ordering a full blue leather dash, door tops and seat inserts. I wish Porsche would offer a two tone blue grey interior!
I think Espresso would be fine with it,....I'm more of a blue and grey fan,....but it would certainly work. If you like and want it, that's all that matters.

I LOVE aqua blue! Just don't think I'd order it on a car that I was going to keep for over 3 years... To ME, it's a shorter-term color. Really pops and looks beautiful, though! Really do love it (and blue is my favorite color)!

Overall, I love this car. I usually keep a low profile when I'm cruising around but I love slapping down wannabes in lesser cars. When you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

I came to the conclusion that aqua/espresso might not work together. I didn't want to take the chance. I ordered an agate grey / pebble grey interior which is stunning. The deviated stitching is really nice. I really wanted to get the black painted wheels but they wouldn't let me order them at the time.

Today, after a long deliberation, it came down to GT Silver + Espresso with platinum wheels!!!! This is what I'm going to get. I will put detail config after I place the order this week!!!!!!
