Favorite Color Combo with Lapis Blue?

Just curious what the favorite color combo is with Lapis blue. Thanks!

I personally hate tan or brown leather in most cars (jaguars and bentleys excepted) gray looks great in my zenith blue 996

I love my tripple blue cab. You need to add metrepol blue as an interior option in your poll.

Thanks for the responses. P-Car - I've heard this sentiment a lot... Unfortunately, I actually prefer the brown shades... but I just think that limits me too much as I'm looking to get into my first 996... Stan -- I only included the colors that I was going back-and-forth between in the poll. But you're right, in retrospect, I should have included blue for reference...

metropol blue is my favorite,too. the porsche beige is too yellowish for my taste. the natural leather brown is a good alternative albeit at a higher price.

Please post a pic - I think Zenith is one of the great Porsche colors!!

Thanks I really like it, although the color is difficult to capture in photos, in bright daylight it is a mid blue but at night it really appears a lot darker (but never a royal blue like it sometimes looks) I have the full gray leather which I think works very well However (controversially for this forum) I may be trading it to get into a cayman 's'

totally agree with both these sentiments the beige can look like baby**** yellow the natural brown is much better, and pretty unique, although I still think its suited to aston martins and jags etc more.... it just doesn't feel very germanic.

How about a choice for BLUE!!!!! I vote for Blue!!! picked up my Lapis Blue C4S with Blue leather interior on Friday. My second choice would have been Black. Just my opion but I didn't like beige. Almost bought a Lapis Blue with a beige interior but I couldn't get past the beige dash or beige steering wheel.

I agree with you Igancio. Funny, my C4S is the same color and options as the C4S on your signature.

I like Natural Brown if you can find it. I have the Savanah Beige, thought I would get used to it...it is the only regret I have, wish I got Metropol Blue. Don't care much for grey interior with any color. Just my $0.02.

[QUOTE=P-Car fanatic] the beige can look like baby**** yellow QUOTE] that is so funny!! my wife always referred to savanah beige as "baby poo" seats!

It is tough to capture in photos - in sunlight the car has a purplish almost lavender color to it. I almost ordered a Boxster in Zenith/Gray. Great combo!

I have a Lapis Blue C2. The interior is Graphite Gray with deviating carpeting in Metropol Blue. I think that combination is very nice looking. The Metropol Blue carpet really ties the exterior color to the inside and also makes the interior a little darker and gives it some depth. Here are some pic of my interior combination. Sorry for the poor quality.

I've got the same combination as gota911. Lapis blue exterior and center console, graphite grey leather and metropol blue deviating carpet and stitching, with a full OEM wood kit thrown in for good measure (it's a garage queen, not a track car)

I think black is the best interior color for any 996.

Had an 84 carrera coupe painted midnight blue at the factory with light grey interior. Now have 97 993 cab in Zeinth blue with tan.Much more of a stand out combo. I think it looks really good w/the top down.

My Lapis Blue 996 came with a Savannah Beige interior, so I have grown to like it. It makes the interior seem larger. It kinda grows on you, but so can mold, so there you go. My non-P-car-owning buds like it. They think it's beautiful.

I would have ordered black.

Is it just me, or maybe bad photography, but is there actually two grays? A light gray, and a dark gray? I prefer the light gray. tom

Prefer Lapis Blue Metallic wrapped over Savanna Beige. Blue-over-blue or blue-over-grey just looks like overkill to my eyes. Natural brown might look alright; but I prefer the contrast of Natural Brown with Black, Basalt Metallic, Midnight Blue or Atlas Grey. Back in the day, I actually had a black Audi A4 with custom Terra Cotta interior (or natural brown, in Porsche parlance). It's a striking colour combo.

Beige - but I'm biased.

Beige, although the Savanah beige is a little yellow. I would have preferred natual Brown, but they are very hard to find. Also, with the brown there are issues with misc interior parts, like vents, etc. that are not available in natural brown unless you find them in leather, so you end up with contrasting colors.

I like (and am looking for) the gray interior. The first one I test drove had Savanah Beige. It looked really bad, almost like it got brighter, rather than lighter, with age. Ugh-al-lee. So I started of hating any of the browns. (Apologies to those Savanah Beige owners!) Then I came across this: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...en&cardist=300 Absolutely beautiful combo! Cinnamon Brown and Lapis Blue. Too bad it's way over my budget! Anyone know when Cinnamon Brown started appearing as an option? tom

Lapis blue is probably my favorite color on these cars, because it is understated like silver but a lot less common (there are seven 996/997's in the garage at my apartment building and six of them are silver!). Usually I would have thought grey or tan would be the best interior color with blue, but for some reason I really don't like either in the 996. I recently saw a lapis 996TT with a black interior, and to my surprise, I thought it was the best combo I've seen with the Lapis. Probably hard to find though, because "black and blue" is probably not a combo most people would order. Curious if anyone here has that color combo.

TomP - That "cinamon brown" sure looks like Savanah Beige to me. I have never heard of a cinamon brown from Porsche.

Dharn55 - Maybe it's a trick of the camera, but most of the Savanah Beige I've seen in person or in online photos looks really orange-brown to me. Nothing like the links pictures... Is there any way to discern the colors from the VIN? Does anyone have a list of colors vs option numbers? tom
