Need help with the color please!

Hello folks!

I'm new member to this forum and I have recently placed an order for my 1st Cayenne Turbo. I went with Umber Metallic with Expresso/Cagnac but i'm afraid I will regret that I chose umber color.

What do you guys think of this color? Anyone who has it still like it after a while ?

Thanks in advance !

Here, this person just received one in Umber (I think!):

It looks really good in his pictures with the blacked-out trim (GTS style). I think the color works well on the aggressive models like GTS and Turbo.

Color is very personal - Umber would not be my first choice but it will probably stand up very well (versus Black); and all Porsche colors are pretty good - can't say I have ever seen a Porsche color I couldn't be happy with. But having an Expresso/Cognac interior in my Cayenne TT, I can guarantee that you will like that combination!

That color is beautiful. Be sure to get the blacked out trim and body colored wheel well moldings.

I went with White and Espresso/Cognac, but Umber was my 2nd choice. Had I wanted a darker color I would have gone Umber for sure. I would recommend painting the lettering on the back in either Black or Umber.

Haha I'm exactly in the same boat. I'm between white or umber but everyone here has white so its not really special.

No offense, but I find the umber boring to the point where one might have trouble finding his/her car in a parking lot. Seems to me that white would be more logical in Qatar. I don't doubt that white is common there. But there are lots of options you can spec during the build to take primary attention away from the white. Once delivered, you then have the entire aftermarket, from which to make your white Cayenne different from all those others.

I'm still digging the Umber! But if you're trying to snap necks or "stand out in a crowd" I would do white or black. The Cayennes in those two colors are magnificent!

You consider the Mahogany? With the espresso interior that might be a stellar combo.

Mahogany? Hum I didn't like this color when I saw it. I'm currently between (White, Umber, Meteor gray). I feel these colors fits me better.

White: too many people have it.
Umber: haven't seen one on the street that is gts or turbo.
Gray: my last car was in this color and I had it for 7 years before I sell it.

Red: red looks nice too but i'm not sure about it !

green? just kidding. umber with the dark tail lamps should be great. i had a simi,ar color for 3 years and never tired of it. whatever you do, get the thermal and noise isolating glass. it really keeps the car cooler in the sun. maybe it even comes standard there?
