Iridium on full almond beige interior.. which wasnt the case as the roof linen was black even when the leather was beige. Looks weird imo..

Other wise black on black!

in fact, matte black on the outside and two tone (black/red) with quilted design on the inside will be hot

Silver on the outside. Easy to keep clean and hides small scratches and marks. Even after a month after washing it I still get compliments on how "clean" my car is.

For the interior definitely a light colored leather. Can't stand black interiors as it makes the interior one giant big black hole with no definition or details visible. Plus you never know if it is clean or not (bad thing). With a light colored interior you can actually keep your car clean because any dirt or stains will show right away. I've had my car for 2+ years now and the interior is a cream/almond color and everything is pretty much spotless.

Also a light interior looks amazing at night with all the ambient light reflections. It basks the entire interior in a warm soft glow. Black IMHO does little with ambient lighting. I especially like getting into my car when a valet drives the car to me as the cabin looks so inviting with the warm lighting reflecting off the light colored leather.

For the wood I prefer a grain that shows contrast and looks like wood...

Palladium Silver with gray interior and burl wood-which is what I ordered. Depends on the light, but I think of the Palladium silver as a light gray. To me, black interiors psychologically seem smaller/less open.

If the outside is black, definitely black. MBs and BMWs look awesome in white for some reason. If I got white, dark tan or almond.

For some reason, to me white cars look like rental cars. I can't get that thought out of my head.

Black on Black is always the best, Black interior with Red leather stitch would be the best of the best.
