The color combo on my car was definitely a deciding factor in buying it - Midnight Blue Metallic and Metropol Blue over Savanna Beige. Classy, and my wife loves it (do not underestimate this, my friends). Granted, dark paints show dirt, but nothing looks better when properly polished. Besides, I've had many silver cars (we currently have two). I would have also not walked away from Rainforest Green Metallic.

There is one, and only one, proper color for a Porsche. Arctic Silver. All others are an abomination,

Agreed, except it can't just be Arctic Silver it has to have the correct interior color to complete its legendary status.

Sorry kids but silver was and is Benz. Do the research on why.
Mine`s Basalt but I kinda like the white. My 944 was white.

The dark colors look great after a polish
Take the cover off roll it out of the garage gleaming in the sun
Roll it back in and cover it becase the second you drive it all that work is for not
Silver - not sure why that's classic porsche. Maybe for an Audi
Becase some actor met his untimely end in a silver porsche
Plus every other car on the road is silver

Best color. Metalic Seal Gray
Polish it drive it 2000 miles it still looks great

So, basically more bland silver

"Best OEM Boxster color"? Anything but boring silver/grey.

I get quite a few compliments on mine. Usually for its uniqueness. Probably wasn't very many peoples first choice of color which is why you don't see it very often. I kinda like it though.
