Beautiful car and then they ruined it by that interior.
The Natural interior is horrible - always has been; always will be.
Red with natural is a Ferrari thing - the C8 not a Ferrari; stop with the hideous color combo.
Especially when you consider the GM shade of natural is just "off".

many of us like the natural interior. I receive a huge number of compliments on my ELB with natural (not dipped). Color choice and color combos are extremely personal. We buy what we like because it makes us happy. To have a stranger rant like that at a member is just wrong. We can and should offer polite constructive opinions, but not be insulting or downgrading.

Same. My Red Mist car has tan & black interior, and I dig it. The wife preferred the red mist/tan combo over a grey/black car, which was also the final say at my house, too

Everyone has they own opinion about what they like, we (members) are just looking at the different combinations that is out here. How in the heck a Ferrari got thrown into this is nonsense (go figure)….Look at the combos and enjoy or enjoy not.

I had a ‘99 torch red with the tan interior - it was a nice color combo. OP, I do like the color combo on that first C8.

I would be happier if the C8 came with no dipped options and the only interior color choices were for 2-tone seats and interior paneling; but you had a much broader selection of colors.

Very similar story here. I bought an AW HTC. I wanted red interior, and my wife wanted the black interior. My car ended up being AW with black!

GM's interior colors have always been just a tad off, which makes them look cheap. The natural shade is just slightly off where it looks plastic to me. I wouldn't say it says luxury. I almost never care for a tan interior, but my wife's BMW has the extended Tartufo merino leather, paired with marina bay blue exterior, and it looks like a luxury vehicle interior should look, imo.
The adrenaline red seems a little off as well, and then sky-cool grey is too light (many people mistakenly refer to it as white). Haven't seen the artemis in-person but in pics it also looks a bit off.
And I'm not bagging on just C8 interior colors, the "ebony" interior in my C6 Z06 is a slightly off dark grey/black color. If it weren't a Carbon Edition, I'd pull the cheap oem "leather" seats and put some decent seats with quality black leather/Alcantara skins.

I'm a big fan of the red with natural interior.
So much insecurity in here. I had no idea Ferrari had a patent on any color combinations. I guess we learn something new daily.

I’ll die on the natural is fantastic hill even if I stand on it alone.
All that “natural is for x type of cars” is hogwash. Get what you like and don’t let the internet convince you otherwise.
That said, my preference is to break up the colors some way. I don’t like all black interior. The 2LT natural interior that provides that contrasting black, in my opinion, is the best of both worlds: it looks elegant and with GT2 or comp seats also looks sporty.
