@sizedoesmatter So do I. I find that the interior colors really makes a difference in how these colors present. Generally the lighter interior looks best IMHO. My SUV is a pearl black with bluish fleck highlights but the interior is mostly light gray leather with black secondary which contrasts really well...brightens it right up. If it was just black I wouldn't have wanted to buy it.

The Satin Steel Metallic is the new one - on right. The one on left is Silver Coast Metallic.

@perrone1 Nice! I see you concur with my "lighter interiors are best" comment. 🙂

You bet. The previous Silver Coast car had Sahara Tan & black interior while the Satin Silver has Cirrus & Titanium.

Here's another example of how much a light interior enhances the presentation of a model. I initially had planned on the attractive Turbine Bronze color but the non contrasting interior lacked pizzaz IMHO so red it was!
