    Atlas Grey Ext - Now what interior?

    Well, my dealer is probably running low on patience with all my back and forth, but was going with Terracotta/black interior but after seeing terracotta, i think it's a bit too orange-ish for my taste. So do I just go with straight black, dark grey or stone grey?

    Cocoa ? I wouldn't have guessed - but it looks great on Rami's (I think) Atlas TT:

    The 997 interior has alot of visual stuff going on. It's a very busy place. Look at your home or office: is it neat, tidy and organized? If not, do you wish it could be? Or is your living working environment "free form" and "creative" and you like it that way? If, like I, you like the former, where things are crisp, clean and "minimalist:" go with black. Black. Done. Period.

    Atlas Grey is a beautiful colour, it really looks great.

    Matches good with black (obviously), cocoa, terracotta/black...

    Natural Dark Grey with Natural Brown seats (and black carpets).

    Natural leather feels, looks and smells better than standard leather. Worth the small premium IMHO.

    Natural Dark Grey is pretty close to Atlas. Without a contrasting color, it looks close, but not 100% (which you should usually try to avoid). However, with contrasting seats, the interior appears to blend into the exterior, while the seats float on that sea of darkness. Should looks pretty amazing IMHO.

    You'd have to order deviated black carpets for it to work. "Black" carpets are actually close to natural grey, whereas the standard "natural grey" carpets are too bright. To help you make your decision, there are no "natural grey" floor mats, only black. So you'd end up with black mats on grey carpets. Don't make that mistake. It's very cheap to fix at the factory, but gets much more expensive afterwards.

    I would go with a black interior with atlas grey but it's your choice. But I definitely think it needs to be a dark colour to complement the dark exterior.

    Here's a gratuitous frickin' great photograph of an Atlas Turbo. To me it says "black interior."

    Cocoa interior--very dramatic, unusual and Germanic.

    Re: Atlas Grey Ext - Now what interior?

    Sounds like I really can't go wrong with any of the above mentioned interior combos - really appreciate the feedback. Decided to go with full black. Completely agree that Rami's atlas/cocoa is really nice (never thought of the color combo until i saw those pics from his original post), but i saw cocoa in person and too much brown for me when you're sitting in the car.

    Upon delivery, will definitely revisit with pics...

    My 05 S Cab was Atlas Grey with Black interior. I really liked the combination.

    YAY!! You won't be disappointed. Besides, just think how happy the third or fouth owner of your car will be with your choice. I saw a "perfect" all original old 911SC for sale, amazing white exterior paint, ran up to see original interior and it was Turquoise; was very disappointing.
