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, ;)

+1
Not only is it a classic and classy, but it just looks so very right on the Boxster.

Favorite Color
 
I was lucky enough to find a triple black 02 with only 41k and the IMS done! It's so classy! The black is so rich. To give it just a little contrast, I am painting the calipers red. Fronts done and as soon as it gets a little cooler I'll finish the rears. These are such beautiful cars.

Best OEM Boxster color? Why, the color of * -MY- * Boxster S --- Speed (formerly Porsche) Yellow. :)

When I was looking to buy a Boxster I originally wanted Arctic Silver. To me, that screamed CLASSIC PORSCHE! Porsche racing, James Dean, and all that.

But then I decided that I liked Seal Grey (Gray?)

So, of course, I bought one in Speed Yellow.

Go figure! :)

I'm a sucker for the rainforest green, and I always wanted to buy a arctic silver car with red interior when I was on the market.

How ever I have a lot of love for my speed yellow box, I think it looks great with the darker full supple leather option.

When we ordered our Boxster I wanted Zanzibar Red. It is more of an orange. Wife wanted red.

One of the gent's in our local PCA has a new 911 in Mexico Blue that is very striking. And the Lava Orange is a very bold choice also. I think I could be forced to drive either of those.:D

Triple black: keeping it gleaming is part of the fun.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1471770985.jpg

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 :rolleyes:

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

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.

I like Nordischgold. Not an OEM color on 986 cars, but on 987 and 997 cars. Very rare over here in Germany.

In direct sunshine it looks more like orange.

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

I only buy cars in the following colors: White, Black, Silver, Yellow and Red and if the red is Guards Red, even better

fridsten 08-22-2016 12:27 AM

Mine is Pastel Yellow, which looks brilliant and is quite rare. I like Speed Yellow as well, though.
