To get back on topic - based on Wil and Tim's posts, it looks like dark grey from the Charlie chart is what they've got.

If I look at Charlie's site, the sample book for the 356C doesn't include dark grey just grey: http://derwhites356literature.com/Porsche356Colors.html

So confusing. Also it would seem that Bali blue over grey is a rare combo compared to say Bali and fawn. It is rather stunning. The only reasonably good example of light grey and Bali I could find was this one at Trissl: https://inventory.trisslsportscars.com/ ... sche-356-c

Of course, you could always feel free to pick the color you like most. :) It's your car.

PS: kinda hate to say it but the Trissl car's color doesn't seem far off from Eric's carpet!

Sean,

The Trissl car is my car. I’m still tracking down history so apparently this company had it for a bit. When I bought it the incorrect radio was gone and the painted wheels had been replaced by new Stoddard chrome reproductions. I can assure you the description is misleading as it currently sits in my garage getting a full suspension / steering rebuild. It’s obviously been like that for some time.

The carpet was replaced and installed with incorrect screws below the footwell pockets. I was thinking of replacing the carpet and that’s why I started researching the “correct” grey carpet color.
