    blue/green interior?

    Can someone show some pictures of the optional interior color for the 996? It was a rather strange blue green shade. 'Nep... something I believe. Thank you!

    Re: blue/green interior?

    The color is actually called 'NEPHARITE'. Does anyone have a picture with that interior color?

    THANK YOU for the great picture of Nepharite! The liberal use of CF really sets it off nicely to.

    The black metallic 997 TT factory test cars, a coupe and a cabriolet both have the Nephrite Green interior. In some light situations the color looks more bluish than green. Part of the appeal of a Porsche is that you can order it with just the colors and equipment that you like!

    Re: blue/green interior?

    Thanks I know what you mean. It looks more bluish in some pictures. Many of the Porsche colors-interior/exterior are shown there: http://www.whiteson.org/boxster/gallery/

    The site shows many color combinations and you can pick and choose which exterior and interior colors you want to view. One very interesting picture of Riviera Blue shown with a Natural Brown leather interior including the console painted in body color-very bold!

    Re: blue/green interior?

    This is a VERY special color. It can look OK in real life, depending on your mood and personality. I think you'd have to be brave (or rich) to buy a car with this interior, as it would be very difficult to sell...

    Browsing for used GT3 seats I found a pair in this color! Must be a special order. Its on german E-bay, www.ebay.de , item #8016033310.

    Have a look at:

    Re: blue/green interior?

    My little brother has a car in black/nephrite. It looks amazing because its so different, but i agree hard to resell. I always call it seafoam. You either love it or hate it, i haven't decided yet.

    Re: blue/green interior?

    My brother has this on his Gt2, the color is exzactly that of the first picture. The second picture is way to blue, and must be a lighting/camera problem.
