Ooof, still wondering what to do
Kate and I went to the Porsche dealer tonight to check out paint options. We didn't see slate at all but from what the dealer told us (props to him for actually talking to us in the first place), was that slate is a very traditional porsche color that dates back to the 356 days. Kind of cool finding that out.
On the other hand, we did see a large paint sample of the olive which is quite lighter in person than the photo below shows. It is also a very new color (2007) I think and is only used on Cayennes.
The dealer mentioned that for our vintage look (is it even a vintage look anymore?!), an olive green would go well with a brown interior ala traditional british racing themes. Buuut, damn if that slate doesn't look the biz too hahaha
Dark Olive Metallic
Slate Grey Metallic
More slate gray in the sun:

the dark green metallic seems like it would match the headliner, but that could be my eyes playing tricks on me :confused:

As a H U G E fan of the 356 and all Porsches, I'd most certainly go with a factory combo from an early 356. For color charts and original color codes/combos go to 356registry.org
There were chocolate, brown, tan colors of the interiors on the cars and keeps with the family. May check and see about original Beetle color combos...
Just my 89cents. I dig it though. Fun stuff.

meteor grey is another great colour combo to look. Slate grey too a gorgeous colour looks great on the GT3 pic.
