    It changes colour in different light.
    It looks more blue than black. You can tell by the difference between the black top and the body. But at night, it does look very dark, almost black.

    Re: atlas grey convertible

    Has anyone seen an atlas grey cabriolet with a blue top? I don't know which colour of top goes best with it.

    Re: atlas grey convertible

    I've seen the blue roof and, yes - it looked very good, really brought out the blue in the atlas grey paintwork, especially when spec'd with a blue interior. I'd be a bit concerned in the duller winter months that the blue roof was too big a contrast to the atlas grey , which in such lighting is almost black.

    Park a black roof one next to a blue roof one and...

    ...in winter light you'd opt for black,
    ...in summer you'd opt for blue

    consider your local climate and intended use


    Here are few of my 987S in winter light..






    and one in August lighting..

    Thanks for your help.
    I'm gonna order a blue top then because I want a hardtop for the wintermonths.

    In a convertible, if you can't match the top and the body color, the top must match the interior. If you want a blue top, you must order a blue interior. Otherwise, go black.
