Default Interior Colors

I'm trying to get an idea on the difference between Kalahari and Bownstone?! I THINK Brownstone is the color on the seats pictured in the ordering guide, but (and I may have missed it) I don't think I've seen a clear shot of the Kalhari (light beige maybe) interior. Any help.

Kalahari = Butterscotch

Bownstone = Well,... Brown

Was hoping for more of a beige shade, but thinking Night Race Blue with Kalahari and yellow calipers would be striking. European look and subtle.

The order guide and configuration tool show the colors a little darker than they appear in person.

Here is the Jet black







Here are the Brownstone seats in the convertible










Here is a Khalahari test panel that was available during the NCM Bash.




Here is the light gray




Here is the Adreniline red.

This may have already been asked in another Thread, if so I missed it. If so, sorry for asking again.

Can someone who went to the Bash and saw the Laguna Blue Vetted with the gray interior advise if it is the light gray as it appears in the Bash photos or the dark gray as it appears in the order guide.

I'm hoping the lighter.

Thanks,

Starman

Those are my photos above both from the Bash and the Reveal. I spent a lot of time in and around those cars and I will say with certainty that the photos are a very true representation of the actual colors. Much more so than the order guide photos.

Thank you very much! I now feel better about my interior order.

Wish I could have made it to the Bash, but work got in the way.

Thanks again,

Default Question for talon90

What color is the stitching on Kalahari? Same color as the seat or an offsetting color? THX.

It's a lighter beige thread.

Are any pictures available that show the suede seat inserts on different colors (grey or kalahari)? I'm wondering if the insert matches or contrasts. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the detail pictures. My general inclination is towards (above) Night Race Blue and Kalahari with yellow calipers. Saw an Aston Martin one time in that (general) combination and it was stunning. I'm thinking about waiting about six months into production to order-let them work out the initial bugs and get the sport seats into the mix (listed as delayed).

Hi David,

I'll bump it up in case anyone else can chime in but those color combos don't exist yet. Neither of those cars has been built with that suede option so none have been seen in the wild to be photographed. The photos above are the two reveal cars and the two bash cars (which convertible was also the Geneva car).

Here is the Jet black


Talon90: The C6 black interior/seats are "Ebony Black". The C7 Black seats are "Jet Black". What is the Black interior in the C7 1LT-3LT Other than the seats? The reason I ask is to understand if there are contrasting interior blacks when ordering Jet Black seats. Interesting we have not seen a C7 all black interior yet.

You are going to end up seeing some contrast just due to the different materials in the mix. The carpet retains that ebony/gray color close to that of the C6 carpeting, the passenger grab handle contrasts a little to the dash pad but the rest of the IP and console are a good match to the Jet Black seat color as pictured.

A good place to see it is on the two reveal cars (Torch Red and Cyber Gray). Look to all the surfaces that aren't red or Khalahari on those two cars to get a feel for the new look in all black.

Thanks, Paul. I'm sure Ryan will make it look good.

Default Thanks talon90 for good color rendition photos

Saw the cars at the Reveal and those at the Bash and your pictures are really good and color-tone accurate.
