If you like Carmon, Grey or Natural Grey look great with that color.

Would look like you got dressed in the dark. Don't do it. Carmon is stuning with beige or grey, even black is ok.

Not sure about the Carmon red. It looks great on the Cayenne but sort of loses something on the 911. (my opinion only) I have the cocoa interior and everyone who sees it ooohs and aaahs about the look.

Bottom line is get what you like no matter what any of us yahoos have to say about it. You will be happy with what you want and that's all that really matters. Have fun and let us know what you finally order...

i dont know, i am not crazy for carmon red at all on sports car.
but with cocoa it would look really wierd.
go tot he dealer and take the paint sample and leather swatch and put it next to it, U will see it will look kinda funny.

Thats a beautiful combo IMO. I think the best way to approach a color combo is to pick your favorite exterior color with your favorite interior color regardless of how they look together. You spend the entire time inside the car so the interior is key. For example, Cocoa is an awesome color you will enjoy everyday. Don't get beige or black because it blends better or something like that. I know this post is confusing at best but hopefully, you catch my drift. Cocoa is beautiful and unique. Go for it!
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with beige or black - its just a matter of personal taste. If cocoa is what u like, cocoa is what u like. Peace.

I have it with Basalt black. I wanted a dark interior color other than black. When you order this color, it comes with the full leather option as well.

i wonder how does the sea blue look as well.
that's standard leather option, would that be full leather as well on a S?
