Default Seeking opinions: GT silver with natural brown

I am in the process of formulating my specs for an '09 cabriolet. I am tortured by the color options. I would like to avoid the same old silver/black combo and have a fondness for the natural brown interior color as well as the GT silver color. I have seen arctic silver with sand interior however and I don't think that combo works very well.

Has anyone seen GT silver with natural brown? What do you think of that combo, good or not so good? I know GT silver is often matched with cocoa but I like the natural brown interior much better. My other option is to just pick the interior color first as natural brown and then choose an appropriate matching exterior color such as black, white, red or blue.

I know these color questions are exasperating but I need real help (in many ways).

I think arctic silver looks better than GT silver with the brown interiors (natural, cocoa).

I have already decided to go GR or SY on my MY10TT. I have just plain tired of owning Black and Silver cars.. But then that's just MHO.

IMHO, GT Silver/Nat brown would be superb.

I have seen it and it wasn't my bag. I thought the contrast didn't work.

I would think Midnight Blue or perhaps the new blue would make a much better compliment to the natural brown interior if you don't want do go white. I would also think Guards Red or the dark green (almost like a British Racing Green) would also compliment a natural brown interior quite well.

Just my two pennies.

GT silver has a suggestion of brown in the paint and pairs well with cocoa. I was skeptical when I heard of this but when I looked for it in person, it was there. It's a very luxurious combination. I love it, but my wife doesn't like cocoa.

Da Hapa,

Your red interior looks great with the GT silver. Any regrets with the red interior? Did you deviate the carpet to black?

Default hot

Silver (GT/arctic) with cocoa or brown looks hot - very rich and luxurious. Enjoy!

I have seen GT Silver with natural brown. It's an excellent combination.

IMO, with the exception of yellow, natural brown looks fantastic on every color Porsche offers.

It is stunning. I've seen both the natural brown and the cocoa on a Cayman with GT Silver and was very impressed.
