To me, Black is boring and bland. Stone gray is nice looking.... while it is not excitinig, it will be a good contrast to the darker Atlas exterior color. I prefer cars with different interior/exterior colors, or at least different shades of colors like black/gray or brown/tan. I would not like a black/black, or blue/blue, or brown/brown car.
You will have others who prefer Black or think that Stone Gray is boring. That's OK because it really revolves around personal preferences and what YOU like and dislike. If you like it, get it. Don't worry about what others (including me) think.

It depends. Many who base their car ordering upon satisfying the next buyer, are routinely ultraconservative. Gray on gray is safe. Really safe. And then there are the irrational buyers who throw caution to the wind when they order and get what THEY want, and not what they think the next guy will buy. Wake me if you order gray. I think it's a waste of money ordering a plain jane car. You can simply buy it off the rack. With the availability of paint to sample, and leather to sample, some beautiful cars are possible. But they're not safe.

Last night I was walking by a bmw dealership....everything was some grey, silver, or black....boring boring boring. They look nice but just too many P cars in these colors where I live that just not stick out.
Give me something different....a red perhaps.

I don't like standard Stone Grey personally (sorry yemenmocha), but I think it looks great when two-toned with black and with optional deviating color black carpets.

The gray is cooler here in AZ than black, especially with a convertible, and I think the gray has a nice "clean" look in person. I think it's a nice contrast with the darker Atlays Gray exterior.
Oh and btw my M3 has gray interior and the dash and center console are black, and I have the black carpet mats also! So yes, that is a nice combo too!

I will say that I absolutely love Atlas. It is my favorite Porsche color.

i like grey, but when i order up a car next ima do white on blue interior.. or darkgrey on red...
i like the natural tan interior too but it demands contrasting carpets imo.

I have an Atlas Grey with Stone Grey/Black interior in full leather. We love it. It is much easier to maintain, at least in my opinion, and I've had two Porsches with black interiors. I avoid black interiors whenever I can.

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...
