Default Interior Color - Brownstone(3LT)?

Any guesses as to why brownstone is only being offered on the 3LT trim level? Is it a more expensive color? Premium material? Or just exclusivity bragging rights?

Personnally I like the color with either white or yellow body color. Nice to see GM adding new colors!

To each there own on colors. But, from the 5 interior colors that I have seen so far, they are all a tad dark for me. What happened to the lighter colored interiors. I have not seen any 2 Tone seats either ...

Marketing. Brownstone will go with/match all the C7 colors. A big demand. The more LT3s that are sold; the more profit for GM. Also, two tone seats will go the way of the C6. Or, until the mid generational "refresh".

In addition to the above posts, don't forget that 3LT uses a premium grade of leather compared to 1LT and 2LT. So this eliminates having to have that one color in 2 grades of leather. And it will force some people who really want that color to step up and buy 3LT to get it.
