    Second what Erik says... some of those combinations are stunning, like leaf green with blue, or lilac and ivory interior. Add pepita contrasts or tartan!

    Just so many choices you can make it could be a hard decision. Whatever you decide we look forward to seeing the result!

    I have about 200 color chips for Porsche in glasurit.

    Dalmation is very nice, dark, with a slight touch of purple.
    I'm pretty sure the glasurit color in German is seeblau.
    I also believe in some books it is Oxford blue.
    POR 329 from 1972.

    I wonder why they named a blue with dalmation?

    Scott, I think you will find that the colour is not named after the woof woof but rather the country of Dalmatia (Croatia)

    Their flag (blue and yellow stripe) and many of the countries early 'crests' are Blue / Purplish in hue.

    A very nice color combination on a 1967 9/11 was Gemini Blue with black rugs and oyster (off white) interior. Also nice in hot weather
    Another one that realy looked great was a 1965 356 dark blue (i did not shoot it so don't know exact color) with a dark red interior. ( I did the interior from scratch)

    Blues do go very nice on a long hood, I wish I could find another one like this.

    Darkest grey (darker than slate grey) or Black with a Smaragd green Interior goes very well.
    Very dark green (60s Mercedes Color) with cream or tan.
