Question Thoughts: White on white cabriolet with blue top


Thoughts on this color combo? Getting ready to order and looking for second opinions.

I like the contrast of the white and blue. Blue on blue is nice but a little too much

My personal favorite on convertibles is dark grey exterior with black top.

Ive seen this colour combo in person and it’s extremely classy. If you want a sporty look, this isn’t it. It’s really nice though!!

maybe I’m bias, but I prefer black on red interior Good luck! Cab is an awesome trim

I went through this whole procedure of colour combos for the last year and it nearly drove me crazy ! The bottom line is most combinations are fine and you just have to decide . I'm not too keen on white cars but I think the blue top sets it off nicely . I almost went with the blue/blue combo for my car but thought it was lacking contrast, so ended up with blue on cranberry with a black top . Good luck!

Another reason I went with a black top ,is that the C43 has black mirrors and wheels ,so I felt the black top connected better colour wise. .I'm happy with the result .

I think this is a great way to think about it — didn’t consider the sportiness.

Exactly the type of advice I came here for. Thanks to both of you!

Always contrast the exterior and interior colors especially with a cabrio. If you match them the interior just washes out and looks meh.

IMO, the coordinated contrasts between the exterior, interior and trim are more important than the actual colors selected.
