    Meteor without question. Very elegant combination.

    Definitley Meteor - I have an Atlas C2S and the cocoa would not look great with the bluish tinge in Atlas. Slate and cocoa do look nice together too...

    Re: What shade of gray with Cocoa interior?

    Are you guys certain on the Meteor/Cocoa combo? I was considering building a C4S Cab with that combo, but I was afraid that there was not enough contrast. The configurator does not do it justice I assume.

    Re: What shade of gray with Cocoa interior?

    Yes - there is a Meteor/Cocoa TT at McKenna that I saw on Friday - it was quite stunning. i saw it both in sunlight and under fluorescent lighting. I prefer Slate and GT silver w/cocoa, but Meteor was a good match - certainly better than Atlas.

    Meteor and Cocoa for sure, you will not regret it. Other good matches are Slate, GT Silver,and Arctic.

    I'm confident with the silvers and probably slate, but I now feel better with meteor. Thanks.

    A meteor cab will be in at my stealer soon, so I can at least see the the color. I think it has a black interior though.

    Re: What shade of gray with Cocoa interior?

    Obviously it's a matter of personal taste, but IMO, if you don't mind paying the extra charge, Slate is a better match than any other greys, including Meteor. Slate has the strongest brownish tint of all the Porsche greys.

    I am a Guards man myself, but has a friend who has a Cocoa leather "addiction" , and therefore has seen multiple cars with the Cocoa/Grey combinations. Slate is the one!

    devo, I got a seal/cocoa 997S and it looks fantastic. That is a very elegant combination, the grey is rather subtle and the dark brown gives the interior a welcome cosy look.
    Meteor is something like the successor of seal, it's a very similar colour and it looks as good as seal in combination with cocoa.

    eh, yep. But actually i would like some contrtast. So slate, being brownish itself, would not be a wise choice

    I love Seal Grey, so Meteor is my likely choice then. I've never seen cocoa, but it looks beautiful in photos.

    Re: What shade of gray with Cocoa interior?

    From personal experience I'd vote for GT silver or seal grey, the later being replaced by Meteor Grey. I am not too fond of this sucessor since it has a yellowish tint that comes, in my eyes, with a few downsides.

    Cannot comment on the combination with Atlas and Slate since I haven't seen Cocoa in conjunction with these two.
