TL;DR If you've been keeping up with the discussions about Ice Grey Metallic, you know it's an incredible color, but matching it with the right interior colors can be tricky. My build locks in two weeks, and I could really use your advice!
Initially, I planned on incorporating yellow Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), yellow deviated stitching, and yellow seat belts as shown HERE. I've always been a fan of yellow highlights, and ideally, I'd choose Shark Blue, Dolomite Silver, or Carrera White Metallic. Since GT Silver and basic white aren't options for me, I've settled on Ice Grey Metallic (IGM).
Many seem to think that IGM has a red/blue undertone, which narrows down the compatible interior colors. I'd appreciate your input on the following options:
I had IGM as my chosen colour for a GTS build for a very long time. Saw and test drove a IGM with Carmine Red GTS interior and I felt that went well with the car.
It also had the porsche script on the doors in red, similar to the GT3RS launch.
I went with Guards red in the end, after seeing all of the colours in person.
I'm awaiting my IGM turbo s....guards read chrono, tach and seats belts, black leather with sport tex seats, yellow calipers, every race tex interior option, gloss black sport design. Champagne colored wheels in the garage ready to go!
@porsc992 here is a post I put in a Graphite Blue thread. "Hi Graphite Blue crew. I am posting this here in case others stumble across this thread. I've been dreaming of graphite blue leather with red contrast stitching and wondering what it would look like. I finally found a car that has it. I think it looks outstanding."
Another item to consider is if you want to match the center tach and the clock. I have option #2 (but with black normal brakes), but had to get the center tach and clock in white, since blue was not offered. I think it is offered in yellow though, so that could be another way to look at the benefit of option #1.
I have graphite blue interior and LOVE it. White stitching though. I do like the red stitching, but do you think it would look too "Superman-ish"? The blue in graphite is really hard to discern and not a vibrant blue at all, so I am guessing not, however might be something to think about.

I test drove an Arctic Grey with your interior and there was an IGM with red interior next to it.
I thought the red interior looked nice on the IGM, but graphite blue & chalk stitching would be my choice for IGM. Big time. Photos of the interior attached. I edited the colouring a bit on the spot to try to match what my eyes saw in person.
