Agate grey help

so, i'm set on an agate grey cabrio but having trouble deciding on interior and top colors. I've always loved the silver/brown color scheme of older P-cars. What do you guys think of agate w/ a brown top and espresso interior? Or would Umber look better. Does Agate fit with browns, in your opinion? Any help would be much appreciated, as i have a feeling we won't be seeing too many pics of 991's in these colors. Thanks guys!

I got Agate with beige/tan interior and it is killer. I am not a fan of the expresso because it is so dark and doesn't have the right contrast with the Agate IMO.

Having seen the agate grey in real life, I'm not sure it goes with a brown top. A lighter grey would, but agate is too dark for a brown top...

My choice would be the black top, but with a more contrasting interior. A really great combo for agate grey exterior would be the agate grey / pebble grey bi-color!

Here's an Agate Gray with brown interior Boxster picture that I found on a UK forum. Can't say that I am a fan of the combo.

I agree with Kelderek. Agate Grey and brown does not go well together. Red interior with a red top looks a little better I guess, but is too loud for me.

If you want Agate Grey, I'd go with a black top (which are 300 times easier to keep clean) and two town black and grey interior or Agate Grey extrior with a dark grey top and grey and black two tone interior.

I love the expresso interior too but not on an Agate Grey car. Just my 2 cents...

The cab at the NY Autoshow was agate grey with red/red and it was great. I happen to like the agate and brown look a great deal. But I would need to see which color matches the roof best. The espresso interior is beautiful on its own. I have a Pt silver car with red/black interior. If I had not done that I would have done a brown interior.

Great problem to have! Good luck!

I have a Agate Grey 991s to be deliver by the end of the month, it's on a slow boat from Germany..... I ordered mine with full black leather, knowing you can't go wrong with the black. You can't go wrong with any of the combo's though in my opinion. It's a Porsche....Enjoy!

I'm designing my car from the inside out. I'm loving espresso leather. For me, nothing comes close since they've eliminated natural brown. The trouble is that espresso limits ones exterior choices. I've seen platinum with espresso, and it's very, very nice. I haven't seen agate with espresso, but I'm guessing it would be very unique -- perhaps more of a Euro combination. I would also assume it would be a tougher resale. I'd love to see one in the flesh.
