Lava Orange with Graphite Blue interior?

There is a solid graphite blue option. But it is now a moot point for me.
I have chosen Miami Blue after looking at the color with my wife. Lava Orange is a solid second, but I'm going with the color that stole my affection when I first saw it at night in downtown Austin after the 2017 F1 race. I was smitten with it then, and it has withstood the strong challenge of Lava Orange.
Although I wouldn't buy this combination for myself, at least not as my daily driver, I have to say I LOVE it!

Funny, in pictures Miami and Lava do not catch my attention. But, I have seen both in person at my dealer and, in person, they are both striking and very attractive. I have tended towards darker hues as a personal choice (affer my initial 08 CS in Guards and Cayman R in Carrera White) but can definitely see why folks would be attracted to these colors.
If you haven't already, take a look at the car (configurator) with and without the side intakes in body color rather than black. Personally, I think it makes a huge positive difference when they are painted, especially when you're going with a bright color. I find the black a distraction. Same with the front and rear fascia, and the headlight cleaners, if yours is equipped with them.
I was going to go with the Chalk leather, but my dear wife thinks it may not look right. Right now the interior is black leather with Miami Blue paint accents and seat belts. For the exterior, I prefer black accents and have added black rear spoiler, black door handles, and jet black metallic on the wheels.
Add my compliment to your list!

Good discussion about interior colors in combination with exterior. When I was picking the colors for my newest Cayman, I had thought seriously about some version of Night Blue with red interior. In talking with my SA, we put these colors together in samples and stood outside in natural light. He was right, the red made the Night Blue look slightly purplish. Who'd a thunk.........So, I went with Night Blue with Agate and have received a ton of complements about the combination (always need to bear in mind that my optics tend towards conservative....).

It would have to be black leather interior or sportex with Lava exterior. I saw a Lava 718 Cayman at Silverstone when I did my PEC day and it had a grey interior that looked a bit brown to me. Graphite blue with orange would look hideous in my opinion but each to their own.

You've lost me.
... and dark blue.
Thanks Swdea! Is the black (center) portion of your seats Alcantra or leather? What ever it is looks great. I want seat ventilation since I live in Texas, which requires all leather seats.
Secondly, what color are your wheels? Did you get one of the optional black paints?

Thanks Blink. I like unique. I saw the full Graphite Blue interior on a black GTS yesterday and I think it would be fine on Lava Orange. Blue and orange are complimentary to me, as are grey and orange.
What color combination did you go for?
