Default GT Silver over Truffle Brown or Black / Bordeaux

I'm torn between truffle brown or black / bordeaux for the interior for GT Silver....with the caveat of course that colors are subjective etc...what do you all think? Seems like silver over black / bordeaux is a more common build vs. silver over truffle brown...would have expected to see more silver over TB...do the colors clash for some reason? Would love to see pics of either w/ silver and hear some thoughts! My wife is definitely tired of me asking for her opinion lol.

GT Silver over truffle brown would look fantastic. I had Aventurine Green/truffle and absolutely loved it. Be sure to consider the paldao wood inserts.

IMO, GT Silver looks best with Black/Bordeaux interior...much more classic since that version of Silver/Red combination goes back to the 50's...Def more pop esp with the Silver seat backs. and I would add the 930 package also...My incoming S coupe due any day is Agate over Blk?Bordeaux...another timeless look.

to me black/bordeaux looks like a crime scene. Hard no.

Both would look good. If you want more subdued/ classy look go truffle brown. If you are looking for a sportier look go black Bordeaux. Both would look nice

I had silver / truffle / 930 pack selected before I had a shot at PTS and loved the combo, the 2 are very different but good looks. I vote Truffle.

I had a 997 TT-S in GT silver and, at the time, a natural brown leather interior. Truffle brown is a little darker and would look fantastic with GT silver as there is a slight brownish hue to GT silver.

My first 992s was Silver with the black/bordeaux, really liked it so on my new 992s in Carrera White Metallic I also went with the black/bordeaux, still really like it and would do it again. Nothing wrong with the truffle brown, I just wanted a bit more "pop" inside as I have the slick top. Kinda like the Crime Scene description....

Some pics below, Top three are Silver car, Rest are White car. Note that the White car also has the 930 package inside.

Beautiful...you really upgraded the interior with checking all the leather boxes!

Didn't know GT Silver has a brownish hue. Helpful point. The funny thing about GT Silver is it's considered the common color but living in SoCal I feel like because so many people go for louder colors it ends up being less common.

I heard it looks brighter red in photos / videos than in person?

I agree with that, it doesn't have that "lipstick" look in person.
