For me, none of them. I'm ordering in the Oak Green, with Gentian Blue as my back up. I dislike black, white and silver, the Frozen Blue doesn't work for me on a car of that size and nature (nothing against a nice blue though!) and the Papaya is too bold a choice, personally. But it's all so personal

Ive had Gentian blue on a GT4 and had very similar on a prior 911 and both were a nightmare to keep clean and looked terrible when then sun was on them in terms of paint chips / light scratches etc...... I agree the Green is lovely..... Im going base car and just dont want to pile on the extras, im wincing at the £2250 cost of Green.
Talking to the business manager at the dealership they depreciate all extras to Zero in the PCP schemes, so its very easy to just go for a Turbo as its pretty much got everything standard..... clever marketing.

(I'm guessing) a replay of the way they sold Tacan - although hopefully Macan is less likely to go off a cliff, with all the bad news around 2030/35 and cheap imports priced in...hopefully. Going S myself to take the top off the payments.
I listened to one article which said the taycan is more challenged being a saloon (limited market), plus first gen tech.We shall see, etron has tanked as has my current ionic 5.
What ever you fancy.
Your colours sounds positively boring to me. Hence we have choice.
I would be Oak Green with the truffle brown club nappa leather.
We have a Cayenne with that interior now and love it. Albeit with black exterior.
But choose what you like, there will be someone else who likes it when you sell and 100 buyers who think it is pants. So may as well spec what you like.

Colour, yes, that's in my chosen spec. Wheels ditto (even if they will be a little less efficient). Leather...hmmm.
Haha, yeah I can why a brown interior is not to everyone's taste. Have to say though, the quality of the leather is amazing and it makes a change from black. Dark enough to be super practical, but still feels different.
It is really hard to photograph, it always looks far lighter in photos.
It is a shame they don't offer the Cohiba interior. Just seats, door cards and maybe lower dash and centre console.
Against the Oak Green it is lovely.
That is Chobia and Truffle on the top of dash, steering wheel and centre console/armrest. Actually shows the truffle better than the truffle photos.

Company car though?
I would go solid black, 20" S wheels, black/chalk interior and Bose.
£70k with only £2880 of options.
I'm minded to do that but with adaptive cruise (with option to add innodrive later) seems worthwhile at £520, plus heated steering wheel at £220.I would go solid black, 20" S wheels, black/chalk interior and Bose.

I quite like the standard wheels - they are a bit fuchs like.
Porsche sales always steer you away from non metallic black.
Its so easy with these to get carried away, 21" wheels look great, but they require air suspension, full leather nicer than partial, might as well have the better seats, the 360 camera is nice, might as well have a 4, oh the turbo has free metallic 21" wheels, bose and air suspension - might as well go for that then... etc etc
A not small problem is that the Porsche configurator is useless when it comes to colour presentation. Everything just looks kind of dull. You'd think some marketeer could figure out that it's not exactly that smart.
So I played with it the other day and looked at dull colour X, dull colour Y, and dull colour Z and concluded that I would need to see them in the real world before deciding. I think I would go for the frozen blue metallic, maybe aventurine green if it looks like it does on the 911, or ideally Miami Blue PTS. It looks crap on the configurator of course but it's a cracking colour in the real world. I suspect Papaya would appeal to me also if I saw it for real. So yeah, clear as mud basically. I completely understand the challenge of picking a colour...
Interior, I think I would go safe and stick with black or maybe the pale colour. Black leather, frozen blue would work. Green exterior and brown seats are a bit of a classic, of course. White exterior with brown seats can look cool also. I think I would need to see the brown seats in the real world to decide.

I'd be wary of Miami on a biggish car (and I drive an Olympic Blue Boxster, so I love Miami as a colour), but they hang around for a while on used approved which suggests a bit of a hit at trade in. Great for a company car though, if you're not the actual buyer (and if your scheme will run to it!).

What were Porsche thinking.
Crayon's a bit "yesterday" already. See tons of Porsche that colour.
I like Papaya...but anecdotally paying minor attention here, there could be a lot of those too in the next 12mths.
Porsche do some nice looking purples (Ultraviolet etc)....if I were going that way, I'd consider a lighter interior (black can be a bit... oppressive).
