Is Arctic slightly darker than Polar? I've looked at pictures of people's cars on here in both colors, but to be honest I find it hard to tell the difference.

 

Polar has a slight blue in it. Try to look at both Fred and Endra's TT

Fred has Artic and Endra has Polar

 

Here's a pretty good comparison between the both.

Thanks, that one comparison picture really shows the difference. The blue tint really shows up. I guess artic silver is what I'm really after, though seal grey and black are not far behind.

 

The real difference between polar and arctic silver is $3070.00,
still can't figure that out.

 

polar is a "special paint" and thus the surcharge. I still get door dings with the polar just like any other car. The real thing is to look at two cars side by side. that helped me a lot. also imho the arctic is very similar to many other silvers out there by different car companies. good luck, both will serve you well if they wrap up a turbo!!

 

My previous Porsche a '95 993 C2 was in Polar Silver, my current '01 996TT is Arctic. As the other folks say the Polar has a blue tint and to my eyes perhaps a bit more "metal flake" to it as well.

I must say on a personal preference I really like the Polar Silver best when choosing between the two hues. I think it was only something like $1,500 as an option in '95?

 

Artic silver is just so popular, if I hadn't went with Seal Grey, I would definitely go for the Polar Silver. More unique and very appealing to the eye.

 

I believe Polar Silver is the color of the car in the Salt Lake poster. I wish I had gotten Polar. It makes the TT glow. Beautiful.
