Platinum Silver C2S
 
Since posting an initial set of pictures here and here, I got quite a few questions around Platinum Silver Metallic and how it really looks like. And since Platinum Silver is an intricate color that can exhibit quite a surprising variety of tones depending on the lighting, I decided to show a few pictures of my new Platinum Silver 991 C2S. The photos below are taken at different times in different types of sunlight over the past week but processed to a temperature of 5500K with neutral Red/Green tint to make them comparable.

Hope this helps convey a bit of the gamut of looks Platinum Silver can produce. I'll post non-sunlit picture if and when we get this kind of weather here in CA :D

Again, the car spec is:
  • 991 C2S
  • Platinum Silver Metallic exterior
  • Black/Platinum Grey full leather interior
  • Sunroof
  • Carrera Classic wheels
  • Adaptive Sport Seats (18-way), Bose
  • PDK, PDCC, PASM, PSE, Sport Chrono
  • Sport Design steering wheel

Details
 
Here a few detail shots of the coat. (Ignore the red fringing around the blown out highlights, that's a digital artefact.)

If you ever get a "red" cloudy sky, it becomes almost a champagne color!

Some folks criticize Porsche silver colors as being too common, but I think it looks so good on this car. Great shots!. Congratulations on your new ride.

Is platinum grey too light requiring high maintenance? I got TiAg BMW with grey and don't have issues with that shade of grey so far...I'm seriously considering your combo but wifey is against it as my last 3 cars have been silver with grey interior :D

ChuckJ 07-07-2012 03:22 PM

I have the same color combination and haven't had an issue so far.
