Ascot leans more toward the brown family you are right Terra Cotta is like Terra Cotta floors (my parents have this in there kitchen) and is very orange looking... thanks for all the help Ben..I am tired of black interiors just like I got sick of silver cars

yes that is a picture of my ascot - not terracota.

you'll definetely wanna see terracota before committing because imo it looks pretty pumpkiny. fwiw, i really liked that cocoa on the "special" whatever boxster, but see that you didn't.

i believe this is a close up of terracota which looks more orange still in real life and i think becomes overwhelming with the dash:

FWIW, Atlas is VERY dark (pretty much black!). I've sworn off on all black cars (and most dark colored ones too). Black isn't a color - it's a hobby! That Cocoa looked great on the GT Siliver Boxster IMO:

though I obviously prefer Seal myself.

Wow that is a great combo, food for thought. As far as balck you are right it is one big headache my C55 was dusty the minute I used to pull out of the hand wash..As well my other cousin has Atalas on his C4S and it is hard to care for, I need to finalize color by Monday...thanks for everything..

No problem. You should be able to change colors, etc for a little while past Monday, no?

I am sure I will have another 20 days or so as the car will be 90 days out due to the fact that I am waiting to get the sunroof delete option which they do not officialy offer now. However I kind of wanted to finalize the car in my mind and put the order in. I am actually set with the car itself as I am just doing a base 997 and may actually go with the 18"s as I thnk they look the best I dont like any of the 19" options. I am going too Porsche to work some color combos now...Once again thanks alot..

PS you selling the CS or keeping it?

If it gets sold, it will be a miracle because I'm subconsciously doing nothing to market it

How much water/rain would that let in?

Or does Porsche not want you to drive it in the rain?

I drove mine 100+ miles in the rain and it gets flooded with water when I wash the car. So, I don't think it's any big deal.

The interior of the Mckenna car is terra cotta. The ascot is a combo of ascot/black. The steering wheel is two tone as are the seats. This can be seen in Ben's photo. The terra cotta has one color seats and steering wheel.
