color help!!!!

I have always just purchased pre owned cars with low milage on them and have never had the opportunity to build. At first I was so excited to build, but now I am having the hardest time bc I'm horribly indecisive! I know I want the diamond interior, either red and black or macchiato beige. I was 100 percent sold on the macchiato until I found out that the dash had to be espresso brown and could not be black. So here are my top 3 combos:
cardinal red with red interior
diamond white with red interior
olive with macchiato interior

I live in Dallas where black g wagons are like Honda civics so I'm trying to stay away from all the black and dark grey colors. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

thanks!

I almost got Cardinal Red with the red interior. I think the Night Package is a must with those colors.

Red on red, the reds would need to be right or it would look goofy

Yes most definitely and they don’t have a swatch of the red leather to see the reds next to each other. I think I’m going to be safe and go with diamond white

Alright.... She’s configured! After finally picking colors I had the hardest time choosing trim. Went back and fourth between metal weave and piano black. I still have time to change. But I’m going to try not to.

That's not the interior he picked. He went with the highest upgrade, the 8 series, which is the diamond stitching full Nappa leather (designo). Also available on the G550 BTW.

Red with red sounds good....but this is just my opinion which should be totally irrelevant for your decision, I could be a guy with the greatest sens of matching colors or just a moron who doesn't know anything about colors....your final decision should be what your heart tells you and what will make you happy every morning when you go to your garage

BTW my MB is iridium silver with black leather and mahogany wood trims interior and I am very happy with these colors.
