Silver metallic is too boring
I love White with Red leather, or space + Red leather.

Oh good - I clicked on the link and it came up with the boring options that every dealer picks for stock cars, silver, black leatherette and Burl Walnut - most common cobo ever.

Platinum Bronze and Chestnut Brown sounds nice!

Looks okay... Champagne colored cars aren't my thing, but it seems to be more popular with the older crowd.

do not do it. the chestnut is absolutely beautiful, but the platinum bronze is whack and does not fit the car or combine well with the leather. go for white or silver if you like light colored cars. if not go with a dark blue and your car will look gorgeous.

My opinion is that combination is probably the most boring you can get. Silver (the most common car color on earth) and black leatherette? Have you no flair? You may as well put a rental sign on it....

PS. For rental, he'd have to get it in biege with biege leatherete. :P

silver and black is the most boring combination you could choose...IMHO.

if you want silver, at least go with an interior with some color.
