Black with sandy beige ............painted center works well with this color combo ...But I do think with some interior colors leather is better ..

I would have picked the leather but there is no gaurantee the color would match which scared me if I spent over $1500. With the paint option there was no concerns about matching...

Basalt black, matched my exterior. Bought second hand from user who went to leather. Originally from bumper plugs. Great finish and match. Recommend it.

^^ Looks great Kellen

I went with black leather with sand beige stitching from painted. Easier to keep clean, warm to the touch and smells amazing.

Wow.
I thought this was going to be easy, just cover the console in leather to match my black seats, right?
Probably yes but now i'm thinking.
Great look!

Thanks for POSTING the photos and Ideas, I have been thinking of doing something with mine for awhile now ... I was leaning towards having mine laminated with Carbon Fiber, but with the results I see with both going with Leather and even the Paint ... made me think of maybe going to a Black Chrome ... so many options.
