seal gray for '06?

Stupid question, but I bought my C2S from a non-Porsche dealer, so it was just described to me as "gray." I wanted to make sure of the color before I ordered plugs.

So to confirm: slate gray was '05 and seal gray was '06? Or is there some pattern in the porsche color system I'm missing . . .

My 2006 is seal grey metallic. But I thought there was another grey available.

Could be Atlas (very dark gray) or Seal (medium gray - similar to current meteror). Slate gray is also a possibility but that has never been a standard color and is available at a significant upcharge.

To be safe, suggest you look at the color code on your car (either inside the gas filler door, or on door post on driver's side).

Ahh perfect. I'm 90% sure it's seal gray judging from the photo, but I'll check for the color code. Thanks everyone!

As suggested either:

1. Get the seller to read you off the color code

2. Wait until you get the car and read it yourself

If he does not know for sure he might be guessing or he might be color blind

Seal Gray is a great color on the 997.

Seal Gray Rocks!

Here is a pick of my 06 Seal Gray.

Seal Gray and Meteor are so close in color, i would be happy with either.

My first 997 was Arctic Silver, I like the Seal Gray better.
