Default opinions on color interior

Hey guys, glad to be on this forum. I'm planning to get a white is350, but i have a dilemma on which color interior to get. I was thinking about either black or grey interior? I saw one in beige and didn't like it so much. Any thoughts or opinion? Thanks and looking forward in becoming a member on this forum.

keep in mind that the grey and beige will show dirt and wear faster than the black int. also the beige int. will come with beige carpet, impossible to keep clean...

k thanks guys! appreciate it! i was thinking more towards grey interior because those aren't that common, black looks nice also , but it might get too hot.

i have SGM but i had a choice between grey and black. went for black because the white stitching is sexy. grey is harder to take care of but if you're willing to do the work, do it!

jeans will rub off on the grey leather.

For a white car go with the black, looks so good. I have a black car and went with the stone for inside, I like it. It's a good contrast comparied to the black/black.

Very simple ....... B L A C K I S B E A U T I F U L. You can never go wrong with a well appointed black interior, and the IS is well done, with enough wood and silver surfaces to provide a bit of relief. I've had tan and grey leather interiors on other cars and have regretted every one. Black is classic, stick with a classic color.
