Int. colors to match Seal Grey???

I would like to get terracota/Cocoa/Natural Gray... Do any of these work really well or should not be considered at all. I made up my mind on the exterior color. Also not sure if it makes a huge difference, but getting the carbon shift **** and trim strip. May also get the rear center in leather. Thanks for the advice as always.

My Seal Grey 997S has a Sand Beige Full Leather Interior. The lighter interior really sets off the Seal Grey, and vice versa, in my opinion. It is a very personal decision.

I won't do another Porsche with light interior unless I can get deviating dash in darker color . My savanna beige '99 had dash reflection that made the landscape through the windshield seem like it was enveloped in a yellow haze , worse this time of year with bright high sun. What a difference when I returned to a black dash on my '02 Turbo - the world was crystal clear again.

( I'm thinking GT silver with cocoa for my next 911. - would go well with all that ( unfortunate ) fake aluminum in the interior of the 997 )

I have the 997 S in Seal Grey with grey leather and black floor mats that really set the colors off nicely. Looks great. Any choice you make will be fine.

I'm going with Seal/Terracota. I know the configurator is a very poor rep of the colors, but, I did the rear console in ext. color, carbon package (hand brake, shifter, trim strip and the multifucntion wheel in carbon. It looks cool on the configurator. I think the Terra w/Carbon is going to look awesome. I'm about 95% sure the seal will actually look pretty rich combined with the terra. Any other opinions.

This is nuts. Fun, but crazy. I wanted to keep it under 90K, but at 93,500 I'm getting it exactly how I want it.

Seal/Terracota, great combo, wish I could have gotten that on my 996tt with sport seats, and a black dash. (kind of how my Volvo is set up).

Rich, I had a KGB TAG cart with the Biland SA250, I wound up selling it because it abused me on the track.
