Thoughts on Anthracite?

I'm close to ordering but having a tough time with colors. I really like espresso leather and I think it might look good with Anthracite Brown. The problem is, I haven't seen an Anthracite 911 and the dealer's paint sample is too small to be conclusive. Opinions?

That would be an excellent choice to go with the Expresso leather. Anthracite is a very rich, elegant color. Or as Slowlane said, HELL yes.

I think, but maybe colors depend also on where you came from, that anthracite is yes, elegant but a little old-fashioned colour. Here in Italy, we love white cars (so i, in fact i bought a 991 S white).

In Italy we give to white colour a young appeal, but it's a matter of personal taste.

If u like anthracite then...go for it!

:-)

My exact thoughts, Beautiful color and hell yes for an older dude.
I am in my mid 40's and still not considering myself that old.
White for me please.

I probably would have considered it but for the fact that I already have an SUV in a very similar shade. It is definitely a current color.

Thanks guys, I am liking the opinions. I think Elias and Galion would also agree it's a good combo for me because I AM an older dude!

brown on brown - i think the exterior colour is amazing, but i would contrast the interior a bit more

Completely agree. I would go with the pebble two interior if you want to do anthracite exterior. I think the expresso looks best with white or platinum silver. If you do platinum silver than the gray seat belts are a must.

Why do you think grey belts are a must with silver?

I think the contrast looks great! Platinum silver with expresso interior with silver belts look great in my opinion. Really sharp looking, classy and sporty at the same time.
