I was all set on the GT Silver with black/chalk stitching interior, then started having doubts on getting another ‘silver’ car...and saw the Gentian Blue...now I am leaning towards that.
Anyone on the GB, did the black/chalk stitch interior made it too dark? Is the Slate interior better?
I am going with the Classic S rims, and the silver window trim looks like it’ll tie it together nicely, thoughts on the Silver window trim on the blue cars?
I have a black car and went with the slate interior without deviated stitching. While I really like the way the deviated stitching looks when new, my concern with the deviated stitching in chalk is that, over time, it might well acquire enough dirt and dust that would be all to visible and also hard to clean/restore to it's original appearance. To be honest, I'm a bit OCD about this sort of thing, so don't let my affliction overly influence your decision.

Trust the force Luke, get the slate. While we have Night Blue Met, we got slate and very happy. Prior car was midnight blue met 997 with black interior and it was just too dark.
I wanted chalk interior but didn't want slate, so I went Gentian over Black w/ Chalk Stitching but added the Chalk Deviated Seat Centers and 930 Leather Package quilting.
How are you finding the slate in the sun with the top down? I was planning on ordering the slate upper with chalk lower and seats on my Targa as I thought it would be better with helping to keep the cabin cooler.
OP, nice spec. You can’t go wrong with either choice of the interior. My last 4 cars had dark interiors and only one had deviated stitching. Based on my experience, I decided the deviated stitching (black with chalk stitch) made the interior feel a little more special even compared to expresso natural leather (no deviated stitching). My C2S cab is due in June and I too have chosen GB but wanted more of a contrast so went with slate grey chalk two tone.
On my GB build I tossed a lot of ideas around for the interior. My last 2 Cabs had 2 tone leather and it is wonderful. This time I went with black leather including graphite blue seat inserts. I debated deviated stitching over and over. I ended up "thinking" it might be too visually busy combined with the seat inserts.
On reflection... with 20-20 hind site, stitching would have worked just fine.
