Has Arctic/Graphite become the defacto combo now?

Seems like browsing dealer inventory, Arctic/Graphite is the most prevalent combination. Any thoughts?

Anyone have this combo and like/hate it and why?

I hate it....Hate graphit in general or grey interiors for that fact...Only interiors id put in a car are black, tan and maybe red (not boxster red though but something darker like M3 red interior)...I think AS/Graphite has no contrast....GG carpet also gets dirty faster.

I have arctic silver/black and really like it. Light interiors, with light carpet, is impossible to keep clean or clean looking. I've had too many, and can't see myself ever going back to light carpet.

That combo IMO is nice on a cab so the light interior attracts less sun than the darker colors, black interior is my first choice.

I guess I kinda like it, although not in the exact form it comes in from the factory. But you need to find someone to paint some interior parts you



However, I really like black / natural leather.

IMHO, AS/GG does not provide enough contrast. Looks like a mon-color car. Only acceptable one color in a Cab would be triple Black w/a bit of AS or CR trim inside. Of course AS/MB is my favorite!

I have an Arctic Silver C4S with Graphite interior. I think it's the best combo except maybe, for Silver with red. I have a 550 Spyder, silver with deep red seats. Love it!

Graphite Gray sounds like it would be a dark gray (Dictionary definition being:A soft, steel-gray to black, hexagonally crystallized allotrope of carbon with a metallic luster)
A Charcoal Gray with AS would be excellent. The Silver/Gray in real life is too monochromatic for my taste. Safe or Classic combos are fine, but this one tends to be boring.

A/S w/ G/G looks great with CF and deviating carpets.

I had an Ocean Blue / GG C2 that looked good..

However I agree that GG is to light. I prefer the old Space Grey that I had in my Arena Red C2.
