Need help deciding on color for a 991 cab. Please give me your input

I'm going crazy deciding on color! What does everyone think? I ordered the sports steering wheel but standard interior (don't want to spring for the full leather). 14 way sports seats + 20" carrera s wheels

White, black interior, black top (Currently on my order)
White, Yachting blue interior, blue top
Platinum silver, yachting blue interior, blue top
agate gray, blue interior or black, blue or black top

I am torn between blue or black interior!

White with black. That's what I'm leaning toward.

I have a 991 coupe on order. But I have a modified Mustang convertible with windveil blue (light blue metallic) paint and a black leather interior with black roof. I love the look of the black. There is another good reason as well - it gets very hot, you will sweat, and it does not discolor. If you are going for the 14 way seats, consider one of the packages that adds ventilated seats. That said, you can't go wrong with any of the combos you listed. Mine will be platinum silver with red leather interior with black inserts in the seats and doors.

It's definitely coming with the ventilated seats. I inquired about black inserts but was told it wasn't an option...?

Speak to your dealer. They directed me to a product specialist who hooked me up with black leather inserts in the seat panels and door panels. I was also able to get red mats with black stitching and black leather trim. It was an extra $1,700 total and delayed my build by 3 days ( got the change in just after the lock date). You may need to order something other than standard leather interior. Check back with your dealer. Porsche can do almost anything with the interior. It only takes time and money.

If you are torn between blk and blue interior, I would suggest blk (particularly since you are getting standard interior). Blk is the much safer choice. You will not get many recommendations for blue.

Ext. color is really a very personal choice with no right or wrong answer. If I were to suggest one from the options you have listed, it would be the silver.

hahaha - i know what predicament you are in!
I ordered a cab as well but changed it to a coupe because in part, it was too difficult to choose.

My preference would be darkblue/blue hood/black or black/black/black
I went NUTS mulling over the colors that now i ordered a coupe in Dark Blue w/Black interior - peace, at last.
