I have the beige leather and interior on mine. I think it looks better in the GS than the black does, but many times I wish I had the black simply because the leather wouldn't show worn out dye and dirt as easily.
Usually I think black interiors look better, especially on cars that have aluminum trim and such. But the 2nd gen GS just looks too laid back and classy for black to really give it the "modern" look that it does for some other cars.

I think that the exterior color should weigh heavily on your interior color. For example, I couldn't imagine my Imperial Jade GS or the Spectra Blue w/ black leather interior. But then again the Alpine/millenium silver GS's just wouldn't look right with the tan leather.... IMHO. I think you should find a color combo that looks right to you. Also the heat factor. I wouldn't not want to sit on Black leather seats during a GA summer!

For my car color, tan just "works" for others, its optional!

Finding a Black/Black GS or SC is VERY hard, thus the black interiors are more desirable. I have never seen Cinnabar and Black I think that woud be a awesome combo.

I am not a huge fan of the black leather but I must agree that a black on black on black (wood) GS could very well be rawest combo...

My preference is black. In fact, I chose the interior color before I chose the exterior color. I really love the look of a black interior, and, here in Chicago, the heat is not too much of a factor. It is true that it is easier to keep clean and the leather doesn't show as much wear, but those are side benefits in my opinion. I just like the way it looks.
Once I chose black on the inside, my choices in exterior colors were limited to black and silver (I think you could special order a black interior with some other exterior colors like white diamond pearl or spectra blue mica, but it's a rare find). I ended up going with black interior/alpine silver exterior and I love the combination. I've seen a few alpine silver cars with the lighter leather (not sure if it's ivory or beige), and, in my opinion, it just doesn't look right. Here's a picture of my interior:
