Don't you get a 'taxicab' impression from it?

Silver is so classic.

And it harks back to the 550 Spyder origins of the Boxster; Arctic
Silver is a great color for them. It doesn't work with the stock head
and tail lamps, though - looks awesome after the switch to Euro
clears.
I - briefly - owned a yellow Volvo over 20 years ago, and was
frequently "hailed" by people here in Chicago before they realized it
wasn't a taxi. Funny at first, then annoying.

The best color for any Porsche is the one YOU like best.

I personally love the speed yellow. But, you need to have a certain
attitude to drive it, I think. Its flashy and in-your-face. If that
suits you, then go for it.

The seal gray is nice.... more subdued.

I wish that were true, but that sort of thinking has led to some
truly hideous-looking Porsches and other high-end cars, usually owned
by professional athletes, celebrities and other people in the "more
money than sense/taste" demographic. A demographic that's proven
surprisingly broad in this age of souped-up Hondas and Subarus.
In the same way that people look better in clothes that fit
properly and suit their bodies and coloring, cars need the right
colors and wheels to look their best (especially in this age of <ahem>
"flame-surfacing.")

Speed yellow, Gulf Orange (or Signal Orange), and Guards Red are almost
guaranteed to expedite your meeting most of the local law enforcement
officers, up close and personal. I've learned to keep the outside more
subdued...and if you want color...go for it on the interior. However, this
philosophy does not encourage having a Speed Yellow interior.
Heavens...you'd be blind in a month.

Over the years, Porsche sells more: Black, silver/gray, red, white...than
anything else. And that's directly from the design office in Stuttgart.

Heck...it's your money...buy what makes you feel good!

i like midnight blue, tan/leather interior, black top

i think the midnight blue and the black top compliment each other well.

Depends some on when you first became imprinted on the mark. If you're old
enough to have seen the original RSs and the 50-60s grand prix cars in their
original glory, you just wouldn't want to be seen in anything but silver
with black, possibly tan, interior.
