Re: Midnight blue with cocoa leather... anyone?
You mean really Midnight Blue with Cocoa?
IMHO this is not how to say it-the best possible combo...
Cocoa goes excellent with GT Silver Metallic(contrast I guess), Midnight Blue with Sand Beige or Stone Grey.
Both Midnight Blue and Cocoa are dark colors, they will not go well together.
This combo most likely do not exist on used market in Europe!

I share your concerns but I've never seen cocoa in reality and thought, it may could work out nicely. It doesn't look too bad in the configurator -- but beige is probably the better choice.

Hello 987's!
I'm thinking about a 987 in midnight blue with cocoa leather... any opinions about it? pictures would be great, I haven't found any Porsche spec'd accordingly.
TIA

At the risk of upsetting a Rennteam Moderator, not the best combination I've heard of.
Sand beige looks really classy with midnight.

So you are thinking of trading your F430 F1 for a proper sports car, then?

zzboba finally is seeing the light
Midengined sportscars rule anyway, F430 + 987 is the garage to have
Would you mind to let us know what attracts you to get the 987
Of course we know the merits of this baby, but then - most of us don't have the F 430 as an alternative in the Garage. 
As for the color combo: I never saw midnight + cocoa and I think there might be some good reason for it's rarity.
Forget the web-configurator - it's only useful to compute the purchase price of a P
If your first choice is midnight blue I think black, stonegrey or sandbeige are a nice match
If your first choice is cocoa, arctic, gt-silver, meteor, carrara (and for the rarity seekers: olivegreen) are nice.
Even more rare in the future is this combo

Re: Midnight blue with cocoa leather... anyone?
The only reason I didn't pick Midnight Blue was because I felt it really needed a lighter interior for contrast. I didn't like the idea of having an interior that would require a lot of maintenance (especially since Midnight Blue would require a lot of maintenance too!) and I also didn't like that there was no available cab top that matched.

A rare combination that works, however. Just a shame you can't order it any more, now that seal grey is gone.
Re: Midnight blue with cocoa leather... anyone?
Midnight is a great exterior colour and works with a lot of interior colour schemes - sand beige,light grey, natural grey, ocean blue, black.
Terracotta might even work, but i don't think cocoa works.
But hell, its your car, buy what you want

Re: Midnight blue with cocoa leather... anyone?
Thank you all for your feedback!
Well, I probably was a little bit imprecise... the car I was talking about won't be my future car -- my girlfriend is thinking about ordering a SLK or a Boxster. And the latter one is preferred by me, as you can imagine.

Re: Midnight blue with cocoa leather... anyone?
You might get by with natural leather if you want to spend the bucks, but cocoa with the blue will be especially tough when you sell the car. I have the sand beige partial leather. It doesn't show much dirt and is easy to keep clean (probably because of all the synthetic surfaces. 
)
If you want something that's really different, try Midnight and Terracotta. I believe you'll find a combination something like that on the old 356 cabs. I went with seal/sand because you often see a silver or gray with tan interior on some of the older cars. I liked the retro look of it, and it's a combination that's rarely seen.

Congrats on ordering the Boxster
Unless you're girlfriend doesn't feel blue with her new car and is true blue herself instead, it's a good choice 
How come that lead time is less than 2 months

Thanks.
She ordered it about two weeks ago and AFAIK the dealership re-specced a 987 they already had on order for the showroom.

Here are some pics of midnight blue / metropol / sand beige on my 997.
Very classy combo
I like it very much and it was on my short list when speccing my 987 S. Finally I didn't go for it because I have been afraid of having such a light interior in a cab
