Default Amber Orange

I have found/obtained two real picture of the Color and thought I would share.
Thought is was going to be be nice, given the description of a light "natural Brown"

Here are swatches of amber and Luxor Beige from Melissa Witek at Porsche

Not sure if you're looking for opinions or consolation, but I for one love it.

The picture in the first post is for a partial leather interior. The pictures in the second post are of a full leather interior. They are different looks and different prices.

It was a consideration, but I am going with the Aqua BLue exterior and I do not like the combination. With Black it is awesome!

Sorry, but the first thought was 'It's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown.'

Nice pics. It looks much more orangy in the configurator. Really, it is the color of a baseball glove. I like the full two tone (amber capeting) more so, than the partial amber (middle of the seat). Black and orange is kinda Halloween looking.

I don't like in the second pic where they have black floormats but amber carpeting.

Reminds of the orange color Volvo had on the S60 R models a few years back which also reminded me of a baseball glove, but I kinda liked it back then! Looks better on a Porsche!

Reminds me of the '82 Weissach Edition 928, with the exception of the deviated dash color. I like it!

First time I see actual photos of 'Amber Orange' on a 981. Thanks for alerting us to it. This is a great looking interior and it wouldn't surprise me if they allow it on the 991 model in the near future!

My pleasure Eduardo. I certainly appreciate all of the custom ordering info you are providing us with as I wait on the 981 Cayman allocations to become available. These pics have solidified my choice on the agate/amber orange interior. I've had seven Porsches all with black interior...looking forward to this combination!

MAHack: This picture may also help you and others considering this beautiful new leather interior! Below is a photo I took of an actual piece of 'Amber Orange' leather in July while I was at the Porsche Parade in Salt Lake City. Best of luck with your 981 Cayman order!
