Default Brownstone Interior

I am getting the Daytona Sunrise Orange and want to see a Brownstone vs. Kalahari interior with this exterior. I can not find any Brownstone photos that do it justice. It's not even in the "build Your Corvette". Is Brownstone much darker that Kalahari.
Thanks

I have brownstone with Arctic white. Was a little nervous ordering it sight unseen, but quite frankly, it's really great looking and I am glad I got it. Gets thumbs up all of the time.

I describe it as almost the color of a Hershey bar. Its far removed from Kalahari.

Shown with a John Caravaggio covered wheel/horn cover. This is the interior to get!
Sorry for the fingerprints on the screen. I arrived home from the museum the night before and installed the wheel that night.

Some brownstone pics another forum member took for me. I think it is the nicest interior, certainly darker than kalahari. I think it would look great with Daytona Sunrise.

I believe DSOM would look very nice with Brownstone interior.

I have AW with Brownstone w/sueded inserts. I get many compliments on the interior. I describe it as "chocolate brown".

Here's a pic of mine (Brownstone also has Kalahari stitching):

obviously not your exterior color choice but this is a good color representation of what the shade is actually like.

Here is one from the bash in 2013 on a NRB. I ordered this on my 2016 Long Beach Red.

I have that exact combination DSOM/Brownstone coupe, it's hard to get a good picture as shown in the above but it's a classy looking interior don't know why so few have ordered it.

If I was dropping $80k for a new 3LT C7 convertible, there is no way I would accept upholstery workmanship that is below that of a $200 Big Lots leather sofa. It's sad to see this sort of fitment to be accepted by Quality Control.

Nothing like that on my wife's '14 NRB/Brownstown convertible.

As mentioned, that's a pre-production mule.
