Agree, and black headliners are definitely "in" right now and look great. Denali has it, so did that new F-150 we rented, I've been in Porsches and high end cars with them. Black headliners are seriously sharp.

Yes, Kyalami Orange and Yas Marina Blue are M-specific colors, so they are not available otherwise. The lower dash and door cards are colored because I have full leather. If it was the standard "extended" leather, these would be black, and the upper dash would be sensatec rather than black leather.

I get where you're coming from on the similarity, since Cognac is a tan with some orange undertones, not unlike in some Ferraris. Almost like the peanut butter in a Reese's cup. But KO is ORANGE, like a tangerine. If you have them side by side, they look nothing alike IMO.

I do expect Cognac to continue to be available for quite a while.

My car has a black headliner, I prefer a lighter headliner personally with a black interior

The headliner in my GS is black and I'm not the biggest fan. It's not bad, but I am not sure I would select it if I had a choice. In fact, my daughter refuses to ride in my GS as she always gets headaches when she rides in it, and she's convinced that it is the dark headliner, though honestly I have no idea why she always gets sick in my car.

I love it. It's a new, welcome, modern change.

I only have black alcantra in the W12 and everything else is some form of light, the 4.0 has this horrible grey Jetta headliner I hate. If I had to choose I would pick black or a deep tan pending interior choices.

I don't really care too much but I would indeed pick black over a light one given the option however it's not a dealbreaker.

Our LX interior is very black but it does have a light headliner that is just lovely in quality, look, and feel. I could have a couch made of the stuff.

I wouldn't pay to change it and I don't care but I bet a black headliner would be even better. It's realllllly sharp in the Denali.

The light headliner makes the interior feel brighter

I wouldn't like a black headliner with a black interior. But I love it with a light interior.

It's personal but I think black headliner looks fine with any but black interior.

Mines all black. It’s not that it looks bad, it’s just a lot of black.

On the contrary, that's what I love about the GMC, EVERYTHING inside is black.

There are other color pallets that look amazing too in the Denali (I still can't get over how far they've come inside), but I've just always been an "all black" guy.

Even the wood is black. There's piano black trim behind the buttons in the console too.

Thats what I have, its all black, black wood too, its a lot of black. I'm very happy with the ambient lighting, that breaks it up. When you live with all black like that day in and day out, its a lot of black lol. I love black interiors but I likely will get something lighter next time as a break.
