Interior color scheme, suggestions please!

My previous post of this got eaten in the recent lapse of my life (when the boards went down).

So:

I have metallic baby blue exterior, anda grey interior.

I'm thinking of going grey/black/silver...

For instance, door handles black, black seats, gloss black center console, silver shifter, black shift boot, black trim around the windows.

Whatcha think?

with a light car you might want a grey interior. Black from the outside just looks like one blob of black, no shape, and gets frikkin' HOT in summer.

You could do the 2 tone thing; black pkastic bits, grey cloth - like black door panels with grey cloth inserts, grey cloth seats with black vinyl backs, grey carpet, grey dash & center bin/armrest with black switchplate, HVAC console, HVAC *****, and instrument surround.

Sounds like a sweet color scheme to me... I really like the aftermarket, two-tone color sheme (with pieces painted black in a grey interior) look. I have a black interior, and personally like it better than the maroon faded to "poo brown" as Jeremy would describe it...

I've replaced the faded bits with new maroon pieces, with only one exception; the park brake handle.

My car is uh... Blue, and I wanna make the whole interior white.

There's already white carpet in the back, and it looks damn good.
