Hello...Interested in Atlas Grey in a 09-10 S coupe. Has any of you seen cocoa, which looks to be a variation of a rich chocolate brown interior paired with this Atlas grey paint? I am trying to invision the 2 together, have seen some crappy online pics in bad lighting, and im just unsure if this would be considered "desireable" combo? My initial thoughts would be a tan of some sort, as the Atlas seems to cast black and blue also for color family? I really have not seen cocoa in any cars as of yet until now.

Thanks for weighing in.! Happy Easter/Passover holiday to all.

p.s. Also looking at meteor grey... not as dramatic of a color to me...but safe, classic,easy to keep looking clean.

 

My brother and uncle both have cocoa interior in their Porsches. It is gorgeous and would look AMAZING against Atlas Grey. Would be my ultimate color combo if you could find one.

Thanks greg... So what colors do they have cocoa leather paired to?
How deep/dark of a brown is it? Im going to ask for some further pictures of this interior color.

Many thanks.

 

Here's a pic of Atlas Grey with Cocoa. I think it goes very well.



My car is Basalt Black with Cocoa. I love the combo. Cocoa makes the interior a very special place to be. Cocoa is even better in natural leather.

Here's a pic of my interior:

 

I have that very same combo with full leather. Love it.

 

Not Atlas Grey but here are a couple on pics of mine...love this color combo

 

Atlas Grey and ***** Wonka go great together!!!

 

I think it would look fine, but would have to see it in person, out of the browns I think Natural is by far the nicest, to me it goes with any color. Cocoa to me does not go with every color.

Good luck!!!!!!!!

 

I'll go against the grain here. I think cocoa looks great but not with atlas. Cocoa is a little warm and atlas is too cool of a color. So for me it doesn't match well.

 

I have paint-to-sample which I can only describe as linen with cocoa full leather...

 

Reading the OP question again I agree it certainly would not be "Desirable", I think it would be very difficult to sell. Cocoa just like Brown Exterior has a good chance in 10 years of people saying "What the hell was the person that ordered that thinking?"

Funny 10 years ago I said that about old Brown Porsches, now I love the New Brown ones.

 

At the end of the day, it's all about one's taste and also what's in and what's out. But "what the hell was he thinking"? I don't think so. Brown interiors have been around for about as long as the automobile itself.

If the OP is concerned about reselling the car, get a black, silver or white car with a black interior.

But if the OP wants something that's more rare, I do think Atlas Grey is desirable for many and feel that a Cocoa interior would make it even more so. For my taste, I'd take the Atlas/Cocoa combo over Atlas/Black or Atlas/Tan any day. I also love Carrera Red leather, which isn't for everyone either, just like Cocoa.

If the OP is having doubts, then he should pass. But if he loves the combo, that's all that matters.

 

Saw cocoa full leather interior in 2006 and it is still a gorgeous look seven years later. It is very warm and classy IMO. Dark brown leather will likely remain in fashion for quite some time.

 

when I was looking for my car, I looked at around 20 cars with a variety of interiors, cocoa appealed the most to me. Buy what you like, not what someone says it will sell better in 5 years.

 

I agree the OP should not worry about anything but what he likes, but if you think colors like Cocoa Brown have been around as long as the Automobile itself I disagree. Brown or tan have, but dark brown like Cocoa you could not give away 10-20 years ago. I can not recall ever seeing a car in the 90's with Dark Brown leather especially a sports car.

For what it is worth I love Red, I actually love Blue as well, and I owned an M3 with the Natural Brown leather that was my favorite interior color I have owned.
