Need advice on color

I had a year of waiting thinking of color. I need some advice and perhaps convincing my wife.

I started with tectite, then pewter, then granite. Felt granite was too cool. Went all the way to the blues with blue/charcoal interior.

Wife likes black with black charcoal/charcoal.

I sort of like the red/charcoal interior. The red is like a dark brown. Right? In t-bone's pictures it looked burgundy and I liked it.

I have evne thought of green and the gold.

Need ot choose in two days. All advice welcome.

BTW, the discussion on options in another thread was helpful.
