I'm finding this 'black interior vs colour interior' discussion very interesting.
It's Oceans of Black for me, in a Z or a GT-R. The more black the better. No chrome trim, just a bit of brushed or satin aluminium to help me see where something is (e.g. the door handle). And I love my black headlining. I don't even like red piping - too much colour.
On the other hand, I've seen some luxury car coloured interiors to die for. Just don't think I could live with them - let alone afford them.
What colour is there for the interior?

"afford" is a relative* term. Chatting to a former Chairman of the UK Ferrari owners club (and F40 owner) he mentioned they had a member who had re-mortgaged his house in order to buy his dream Ferrari. He also said some of the more "well-heeled" members were not happy about his membership (but that's another topic!).

I for one am firmly on the non-black side of the fence (although I prefer black to drab grey). I personally prefer a lighter interior to sit in but not to overpowering or bright (ie yellow!), ideally two tone like this for example ........

So here's my light and airy interiors...
Nissan Qashqai Premier Edition 0001/2007 (For Sale BTW)
Porsche Macan Inside... A Library picture but matches mine)
The Qashqai has a black dash, and even that now seems "dull", I recently went to look at another Marque and got the "any colour you like as long as its black..." I said "shame then", got up to go and the salesman said, "its that much of a deal is it"? Yes, if you want £48,000.00 from me.
Sooner or later they will get the message.

Go to any Porsche day, "what what GTS 3 911 Turbo.." say you have a Macan and the response is, "well they had to make a poor mans Porsche for the school run" glad I don't fit the stereo type!
