CMG looks white in some pics but the ones I've seen in person do not look white at all... In person CMG looks like a very soft cloud gray with a very slight hint of blue to my eyes... If you like or want a bright white car then stay away from CMG imo...

I just got my CMG C8. I love it. I was looking for a different classy color other than red, and this fit the bill. All of the interior colors, except black, looked kind of cheap to me.I wanted it lighter than black, so I went with the Natural color and I'm sorry I did. It is lighter than I expected and it doesn't match the CMG color at all (my fault). I've decided to have the leather perforated portion of the seats professionally dyed a rich darker red. That should tie the other 2 colors together. Otherwise, I LOVE the car!

Let me get this straight, you went with natural which is really light, now you’re going to introduce a dark red? On a car that doesn’t have any red? And you’re going to have it dyed to accomplish this? I’d really rethink this one. Tan and dark red seats don’t sound appealing in any car, especially a very light grey. Also I hope you know that professionally dying leather is basically spray paint.
What I didn't mention is I ordered the red "CORVETTE" letters on the back and red calipers and they both look great! The medium red color does match the CMG exterior. That same red color on the inset on the perforated portion of an all natural seat should look great as well. The auto upholstery shop I found has some samples to check out. They rub on about 8 coats of a permanent leather dye gel and get great reviews. I'll post some pics, before and after, if anyone is interested.
