Aqua blue over Natural Brown is very nice.
If you think it too flash, consider a more conservative color outside with a more interesting color inside, e.g. Jlangmd's classic Porsche combination of Silver exterior with Red interior (or Natural Brown).
You can also get two-tone interiors with black if the red is too overwhelming.
If I had it to do over again, I would have waited to find a Slate Grey car with Nat. Brown or Red interior, but I had more limited choice since I bought second-hand.
No worries though, I'll have several more in my life.

Kudos to everyone who chose interiors other than black - they all look great and the time and effort you put into keeping them that way show! I have black and would choose black again because you really do need to put the time and effort into keeping the other colors from looking dingy over time. Personally, I spend a lot of time on the exterior but have always fallen down on on the job when it comes to cleaning leather interiors (I do it, just not as often as I should). So, I go with black b/c I know my weakness. if you like brown leather, or any other color, and are committed to taking care of it, then there's your answer. If you get (or are) lazy, like I tend to be, or don't mind if it looks tired and dingy, then black would probably be better. Know yourself.

Midwest,
It's going to be your car and only you can decide what looks good to you for the exterior and interior. Everyone that will post here will naturally advocate for their color combination. I've had several Porsches, MY 92 through 09, and all have had Black interiors because that's what I like. I've had Silver (2x), White, Cobalt Blue, and now Aqua Blue.

Here is my Aqua Blue GTS Cab... GTS Gallery
Nothing but fantastic complements on the car and color. My view is the car and color are absolutely brilliant.
I am 46 so I guess I am not a young guy, though I did spend 2 1/2 hours on my mountain bike yesterday. =)

I have the meteor gray and natural brown, and while I like the exterior, I love the interior. I bought mine a few years old and if I could have found a car with the midnight or aqua blue and the natural brown, I would have gone with that, as well. It seems almost all of the CPO blue cars have a black or gray interior, which wasn't for me. Good luck!
