Default How bad is Nephrite grün?

Guys, I know it's my decision and all, but I was just curious to know what the general opinion is on the Nephrite green interior. I guess it also has to do with the exterior colour ofcourse. Feel free to share your opinion, here's an example:

Also as a side note, please feel free to state your favourite interior color (no matter the exterior color). IMHO, you can never black wrong with a black leather intrior. Alcantara in dark grey would be very cool as well.. TIA

I like Arctic Silver exterior w/ Lipstick Red interior as far as "different" interiors go.

I should add: the green looks AMAZING on that turbo. I wouldn't like it if the GT3 seats, shifter boot, etc. didn't match, but the all-green is absolutely fantastic!

Edited to add: I wouldn't buy the car, but I do think that's a fun interior for a less daily, more weekend/track toy car.

That green is not for me...I could do the color on the leather maybe but the carpet doesn't work for me. But hey, if someone threw me the keys I would catch them in a heartbeat!

My favorite color combo is Arena Red with tan interior. I settled for the gray exterior because of that sexy aeroII kit!

That's hideous! But, it might look okay on your purple car.

Can't like the green interior. My favourite is Midnight blue with blue or gray interior. I also really like the violet of Barney's car. I'm not sure what interior would look good with that colour though. Doesn't matter what we think if you like it. I'm guessing you don't love it or you wouldn't be asking.

Barney's exterior is Amaranth Violet. I really like that color as well. Hmm I think black would be the best interior for Amaranth..

I actually like the Nephrite interior. I would like to add a bit more black though to make it more 2-tone ish. I think that would be nice. That being said, I wouldn't pick the green as my first choice. I'm not a fan of grey interiors for example, I would pick this over grey if it matches with the exterior color, like in this case.

That green isindeed hideous. Definitely not the worst I've seen, but still, too hard to live with. I like basic black.

I like the green way better than most of the red interiors out there, but it would be a little wierd in my Polar Silver car It does look great with that charcoal color

Green is not for me. On that car, the leather looks okay. Maybe old school, but black with cashmere works great for me.
