Need help with selecting colors!

Ok as it says in my sig my Dad ordered a new Turbo S to replace the one we have now. I wanted an S really badly since it has PCCB and X50. My dad wants to get custom colors from mercedes: Desert Silver exterior (gold), and Stone interior (beige/white). I want either White with a beige and a blue top or silver with metropole blue interior. I like color combinations that you don't see every day more than anything else too. So black/black or silver/black are out of the question. Any feedback or recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

Please post pics of white cars and any other "different" color combos.

Thanks bill

How about BMW Estoril Blue with creme interior. That's one of my all time favorites

My e55 is pewter - like dark beige, would be a killer color for a 996TT, with black interior, yum! this may have been an expensive thread....dammit

basically the desert silver is really close to Porsche color meridian silver, so if u really want to go with the gold that'll be a easier route.

if i custom order the paint to sample option i'll tend to go with more exotic brand color like Lambo yellew, orange or Ferrari red, ti-silver. something to think about.

as for the interior i'd go for custom color because Porsche use higher grade leather for all custom interior. saw one at BH Porsche with lip stick red interior. the color looks hot & the leather is much thicker (texture like MB car ie. SL55...) & doesn't show wear much.

MB Pewter with Berry red indeed will be a killer color on TT
