Best Color Combos on 987 Boxster???
I am looking to start a discussion on people's thoughts and opinions on the best colors (exterior/interior) on the 987 Boxster's!
Any and all thoughts are encouraged....maybe even throw in some pics of some favorites for all to enjoy! What really looks the best on this car???

Hmm... sales kind of slow these days at Woodhouse Porsche? Seems like you have a lot of time on your hands to start a thread like this!
This is all subject to personal taste, of course, but I'm kind of partial to Atlas Gray, which works really well (IMHO) with Terracotta interior. On my 987S I ordered contrasting carpets and upper dash leather to break up the Terracotta a bit:

Second, and I have never seen it, is Carmine (Carmon?) red with a black interior.
WAYYY too many Porsches are ordered (including blue!) with yellow interiors! I will never see the attraction of a yellow interior or a colourless exterior (silver).

I like the Atlas Grey, although I think the biege or natural leather is a better combination. Overall I prefer the MidNight Blue Metallic with the natural leather.
Adam, nice wheels!

In photos Terracotta often looks more orange than it really is. You really need to see it in person before making a judgment, and it also only goes well with certain exterior colors. Still, it's not for everyone, just like Guards Red and Speed Yellow exterior colors aren't for everyone. That's why dealers typically order "safe" exterior and interior combinations for their inventory.
