I took delivery last April of my C2S cabriolet in agate gray with bordeaux/chalk stitching and love it. I can take more pics if you want to see something in particular.
I ordered Carrara white with full bordeaux interior with Chalk stitching and Chalk seatbelts. I was (also as you) finding exterior color after I decided for interior color
Decent colors for bordeuax interior:
Both blacks
Agate grey
Both silvers
Carrara white
Chalk
Less conservative, but still great and tasteful combos in my point of view:
Midnight blue (I think this color is discontinued)
Gentian blue
Aventurine green
Carmine red
As the others have written, you can't go wrong with the neutral colors paired with a red interior. Black, gray, white, GT silver and chalk are total winners.
If you were edgy you could even go with Dolomite Silver.
My 68 Roadrunner 383 was white with burgundy interior...man I miss that car... and the 50 years in between...

HA! I had a '69 GTX with the 440 in red. As I recall, it got about 6 mpg, maybe 7 mpg on a good day and Premium was .39 cents a gallon - which seems cheap now, but I was making $ 1.50 an hour flipping burgers in 1971. That car was a rattily POS when it was new and started to float so badly at 100 mph that you could turn the steering wheel and not much happened. 8 Track Tape deck and raised white letter tires with a horn that went "meep-meep" I think I only had three tapes because that was all I could afford - Jethro Tull, Elton John and Rolling Stones. I don't miss the car, but sure do the 50 years when your body could to anything and be ready to go.....now I'm old and creaky, but have a cooler car, like you..
I stand by my modded 383, high 12s. Had the eight track (with Moody Blues et al), the reverse indicator light below the dash, and among so many mods the Hurst shifter with brake lock, hooker headers, Cragar mags, Edelbrock manifold, 850cfm Holley DP, 4:11 rear end. I was working for my brother in law delivering bean sprouts for 2 bucks an hour. I was seriously considering opting for a '71 Cuda 440 or 426 Hemi instead of the 992; actually still am if the right "project comes along". Yes, it steered like a drunken cow, who cares about the mileage (you know what a Chiron gets?), but you could work on those cars by sitting in the engine bay with a dwell meter etc. and yes, where did the 50 years in between go?. Still miss the old girl, here she is back in Hawaii...somehow don't miss my 356SC ...

PS The Jethro Tull 8 track was the Aqualung album right?

That is sooo sexy ! When cars were not made on CAD software, and designed with real imagination, still have 66 GTO never selling ! Has 2016 drive train for better handling and mileage but you are not beating the design ever
