Is Black best Soft Top Color?
Is there a consensus on soft top colors? I don't want black interior b/c of resale considerations. But what about soft top color? Not being able to compare any on a lot, what do you all think?

What is bad about black interior?
I never heard of black being unsellable. I like my light grey top. Seems kinda rare and not to many around.

It may have been just BS from one local dealer, but I got less than enthusiatic response on trade in because of black interior on the cab.

320 CE & 220 CE
Soft top colour
I have a blue 320 CE (1994) with matching soft top which needs to be replaced as the stitching has gone. I am thinking of changing to black but am not sure if this was an option on the original - has anyone seen a blue (mid) /black combo?

Black interior on a cab is a scorcher with the top down. Black top is ok, but light interior is preferred. I have the grey top also and it shows some dirt stains where it folds.

I have black interior / black top. Black interior is clean and classy. My last convertible was black on black and my next car will be the same but to each his own.
