Best Interior color for Arctic Metallic

Just wanted your opinions for the best interior color for Arctic Metallic.

First of all, Arctic Metallic is an excellent color introduced this model. In my opinion Grey leather matches more with the Arctic color. If we don't see the outside color, then Beige leather looks good with wood.

Beige interior is an excellent interior, but doesn't match with Arctic, but this is just my opinion, please give your opinions.

Thanks

I think Beige matches Arctic the best, but I don't like it.
Gray looks nice with it, but I thought it was kind of too little contrast (I also wanted aluminum trim and I've been told Gray/Alum isn't so great)
Terra is my favorite interior color, but I thought it clashed horrible with Arctic
That's why I just got black
Black/Alum goes good with anything.

I personally dislike the grey leather. It looks too bland and clinical for me.

My pick to go with Arctic would be black, hands down.

The absolute best match for arctic is Lemon. It's absolutely stunning.

But I was worried that it might be difficult to keep clean , so I went with Black / Titanium.

Black with Titanium Trim in the opinion of this architect. titanium trim extends the silver on the exterior to the interior.

Well,

i have the arctic with terra and the titanium trim, it looks really good. will post pics this weekend...

i think if you can manage to keep it clean, the lemon is probably the best match for it though.

Definitely the black with brushed aluminum trim. As pointed out earlier, the aluminum ties in with the light metallic paint, while the black provides a nice contrast to the light exterior. Plus, black always looks classy and the aluminum has a much more "sporty" look to it than the wood.

If I get Arctic I will get beige. Black is too hot and I am content with leatherette. Hoping we will have the LMB+SB-alcantara option though...

I have the same cobination, Looks good to me

It looks like, everybody like their combos, it really depends on personal choice.

Black interior seems most popular with Arctic, but it will be too hot for Vegas

I ordered mine with black leather. I did also really like the look of the gray leather and I thought it made for a nice color combination with the arctic, but I wanted aluminum trim and I didn't think that went well with the gray leather -- With gray, the aluminum visually blends in with the leather, but with black, the aluminum stands out much more, in my opinion.

Rather than going hands down on black, I went hands up with beige .
