My base is exactly like that..... page 7 for pictures. Matte black accents (including exhaust tips) on GB with a black leather/carbon interior. Former head of interior design at Tesla is my neighbor two doors down and he loves the combo, I figure he knows a thing or two about design and color combos so I take it as quite a compliment. I love the way it looks, I couldn't be happier.

Thanks Bud this sounds very good I actually saw your car pics as one of the first ones which convinced me to choose it in the same way as you configured yours ! I ordered the 4s originally coming from the 4GTS 991.1 on which i was not really happy with....

Racemor, I ended up following your lead on the platinum satin wheels, you answered some of my wheel questions back during my ordering process. We are very happy with the overall look. Here is a picture our detailer took last week, too bad it's pollen season so it's clean for an hour.

Scrolled through all 11 pages but couldn't see paint code anywhere. Can anyone confirm what's the paint code for this Graphite blue metallic ?

Sometimes graphite blue has the appearance, depending on the light, as Slate Grey, and other times it starts to gravitate towards Aetna Blue, which is a real blue, but under the right light gets really dark, like this:





Very interesting colors, both Aetna Blue and Graphite blue.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing! Graphite Blue does tend to wash out and look almost gray in shade or low light. I will look up the colors your mentioned on my next visit to the museum.

I have seen similar color on Audi which I thought initially was sort of matte gray.
You're thinking of Nardo Grey, it doesn't really have blue in it and is more straight grey.

I instantly fell in love with this color. I have a project truck that I want to paint this color so I'm asking for anyone's help with the paint code. Please please any help is appreciated.

you can try calling automotivetouchup.com because they sell this color in a spray can. On their website they listed 3 codes.
