I agree with that the Atlas and Seal Grey look very similar, maybe it will be like how Porsche has Arctic and Polar Silver available as well.

yea, looks like atlas is a shade lighter. Both greys look great though. I would probably opt for atlas as it is a new color not found on many cars yet, even if it is just slightly different.

Any chance we can get the full listing with pics of all the Silvers/Grays? Arctic, Polar, Seal, Atlas, Slate, and Merridian?

[mini-rant]And why doesn't Porsche have something like this on their site...you shouldn't be forced to go to the Car Configurator and select each color manually...they should have a chart with pictures of a certain car in all available colors. Those square boxes with the color in it is useless.[/mini-rant]

I will finalize it tonight. I can't wait to see some of the cars on this board. I just need to make sure my boss, aka Edward the Longshanks, doesn't overload me with work.

Atlas gray is darker than seal. I saw them in person yesterday. Also, atlas is a more pure gray. Seal has a slight purpleish tone to it. More complex color.

Yupkwondo is infamous around these parts

I always think when I see Seal that it has a brown hue to it...I never was really fond of that color because of it....Maybe its just my eyes...

I carried the Atlas sample around for a day and finally went with minight blue / nat brown / deviating black carpet in my TT cab. Atlas is definitely darker than seal... seemed almost black to me with a little bit of green. it was very tempting but i chickened out without having a car to see it on. Dealer tells me my TT cab is in "pre production"... arrives Dec.

Martin.....

The deviating carpet is a great tocuh - sounds like you are gonna have a great looking TT cab - this ties me over for now but I wish it had natural brown....
