Default Favorite leather interior color?

I've seen this debated in other threads and figured I'd post a poll.
What color leather interior do you guys prefer?

I like blue and black combinations like on the old BMW M5.

Just from a purely aesthetic perspective(not maintainence), for me, it depends whether it's a sports car or a luxury car, & also depending on the interior layout.
In general, I prefer cream/off white or tan leather for luxury cars, & black or red leather for sports cars.
Black leather for a luxury car is OK for me if it has more wood trim inside.
I never like grey leather on any car.

Saddle is very nice. My top choice, but not on the poll...
It also depends on body color.

Black is my second fav, and looks great with any color.

Tan/Cream gets dirty easily. That is my only pet peeve with it but otherwise is a nice look when clean.

Gray is a little dull, and needs to be matched with something colorful inside the cabin, such as a different colored dash or floormats or wood trim. Most people end up with a silver car with a gray interior and it's too monochromatic for me...

The designo Graphite interior is by far my most favorite.

That is a very nice interior, also a very nice stable of cars you've got there.

I knew black was going to lead for some reason...nice but I picked cream, even though it's hard to keep clean. Actually I like Ecru...
