Here's my $0.02. Black is my choice for one reason only. When everything is black inside (roof, dials, belts, etc.) the view out the windshield becomes a widescreen. And you are playing this ultimate driving video game complete with surround sound. Any other color interior is always "present". If you know what I mean? However, some exterior colors demand sertain interior colors. Good Luck. P.S. +1 on buy what YOU want!

while many cars are ordered "conservatively", i would disagree with the assertion that it's a waste of money. we all know some people love their colors but let's not confuse the terms "ultraconservative" with "elegant"
my armani tuxedo still looks like a tuxedo, yet it's quite elegant. i would say the same about my arctic silver couple with black leather...

Well put.I find my stone gray very pleasing to the eye, and elegant, and doesn't reflect badly off the windshield like some lighter colors do. I also loved my triple black cab (with full leather). I'm personally not a big fan of the tan interior color, but to each his own. The 2-tone interiors are all great IMO. Everyone should just pick what they like and go with it. These cars are not boring, no matter what color the exterior or interior.

Mine has the bi-color option. Just enough black to allow the grey to stand out Plus the black dash cures the reflection problem you get with light colors on the dash....GR

The grey doesn't pop in photos too well, but it person in looks crisp and rich. I like it.

i have atlas and black full leather. Love it! Stone gray and even the dark gray natural leather would look good. Maybe even sea blu which really would pick up the blue hues of the atlas. I'd like to see that combo!

Grey on grey is boring, IMO. Get some contrast - the 2-tone full leather is a must for a grey interior IMHO!
Not that silver on black is exciting, but as one poster put it elegant is just that.
In any case, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Dealers typically often order Silver exteriors with black interiors. Black is also classic from a sports car history POV. Yet Black gets hot, and its hard to see the details in a black car. I got tired of being in black cars...

All my current and previous cars have black leather, and it is true after a while it looks somewhat bland. So with my 997.2 I have the deviating stitching in red on black leather and IMO it looks great compare to just black leather.

I like Grey Exterior but would choose Black over Stone Grey for the interior. My favorite is Cocoa Interior with Cocoa top and Grey exterior. Saw a C4S with combo recently and I love it. I also really like the Terracota interior. Very rich looking and common on Ferraris. Go for Grey with Black.
