    best match for teracotta?

    I know there are not many teracotta interiors out there. For those of you who appreciate it, what is the best exterior color that matches it? I am working backwards here and have my mind set on Meteor Grey.

    Any pictures of teracota combos are appreciated.

    IMO, white and silver are the best match for terracotta.

    My vote goes to Slate grey... anyone else remember these pics from long ago? I think Clayton was the owner who originally posted these..

    How can you say "hands down" for GT silver?? These Slate pics are great too! Why don't you think before you type!

    Slate, meteor and GT silver are all nice. White if you live in the sun belt.

    Re: best match for teracotta?

    I too love the terra cotta, but wanted the Atlas even more. Terra Cotta looks great with Atlas until the sun hits it , and then the bluish tinge in Atlas (to my eye) just clashes a bit. The TT I have on order is a special order two-tone natural gray over natural brown.

    Re: best match for teracotta?

    I think Slate/Terracota and Cocoa/GT Silver interior/exterior combos look best - and that the Terracota/Black two tone interior looks incredible when combined with a darker silver/grey exterior like Slate!

    We have a variation on that in England: " A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client"!

    Re: best match for teracotta?

    I think black, basalt black, carrara white, slate grey, meteor grey, arctic silver and GT silver all go well with terracotta.

    Various people here have chosen cobalt blue with terracotta. Somehow, they just don't blend to my eyes. Just my opinion though!

    In theory a 911 with his rear-engine-concept must be a bad handling car...

    Black, and all shades of silver/grays. White? yuck. Not that it doesn't match, it's just too Miami Vice...

    I especially love the Slate the best, that's just drop-dead gorgeous and rich looking, but.... when it came time to order, I could not resist my lifelong love of straight-gloss-black. Here's a few snaps I just took today. Still looking good for going on 2-years old!!
