Default Laguna Blue with Kalahari interior?

Has anyone seen a pic with this color combo

Just ordered yesterday, Laguna Blue with Jet Black

But if I could see a Pic of Kalahari with that Blue, I might very well consider changing my choice...

Tough call. I'd have to see it in person before ordering it.

That is my dilemma. Black is a no brainer. Guaranteed to look elegant.
"Betting it might look great" is just that..

A Gamble. That I would be stuck with if it's a fail...

Disappointing that they don't at least have a configurator, so we could see all the possible combinations

You might could ask for a photoshop expert to try it. Plenty hang out in off topic if not here.

Even if they had the "build your own" tool available, it would not be much help for this. It would, no doubt, use the renderings of the various colors and they are not accurate.

GM does not think they will look bad together, as they allow the combination without the $590 Color Override option.

If you have seen (in person or good photos) of both the Laguna Blue and the Kalahari and you really like each of them, then go for it. Just FYI, Kalahari is very close to the Mohave offered in the 2014 Impala, so you might be able to see it in person if you have not already.

I'm doing the same with Laguna Blue and Brownstone (3LT with suede).

Seen the Kalahairi in person, saw the Laguana Blue in person, but never on the same car. They would look fantastic together.

I do not think Corvette makes a color that does go with Kalahari. It is really neutral.

Change your order. I have an 04 phantom black GTO w black interior and I wish there was something to break-up the darkness inside. You will love the lighter interior where the dark dungeon of all black will get old.

Go see a 2014 Impala. Same color( Kalahari) is in that car. Or at least very close.

Good luck with the order. Hope you like it. Can't go wrong either way, but I agree Kalahari makes for a great combo.
