Default Machine Silver- what color interior?

I need some input-
I have found two 3LT Coupes- both Machine Silver. One has Titanium interior and the other one has black. Both have body color roof panels.
They are out of state and I have not seen a silver/titanium combo.

Anyone seen this combo? Is there enough contrast between the colors or does the interior get "lost"?

Thanks for you opinions

Two-tone, red and black. Awesome with Silver.

Sorry no photo's however, I have a silver 06 convertible with the titanium interior. Rest assured it is one sharp color and easy to keep clean.

If it were a Vert I would say titanium, in a coupe I vote for black. Although the two tone would look sharp in either.

My 05 Silver coupe had the Steel Gray interior, which I think is very close to the Titanium interior of the 07s. It's a great combination, but so is the red interior. Here's a link to Tracey & Ernie's webpage where they've got some silver/red pics.

: black(ebony) interior looks great on the silver coupe because it works especially well with the black accents on the exterior. My favorite combo. If you get the transparent (dark) roof then it pulls the entire package together. But, of course, there is nothing objective about this subject. Good luck.


PS: the red interior also looks great. A close second IMO. Tracey has especially fine looking silver with red interior.

Thanks for you opinions
I found a Machine Silver '05 with Steel Gray, I think similar to Titanium. Doesn't look too "lost" thanks to the black and silver accents. I kind of like it over the black. But I gotta say, the red / black is nice. But if that's not available to ya, it's not an option, right?

Actually Ebony is NOT black. Its a very dark grey...in paint mixture lingo it would be a mix of 2 parts dark grey (semi gloss) and one part flat black. I know, I matched it up (using Testors Acrylic model paint) to fix a tiny nick spot door vinyl.

So that song "Ebony and Ivory" should really be called "Two Parts Dark Grey One Part Black & Ivory". Be hard to rhyme that............

titanium looks sweet, I was considering that before I settled on cashmere myself. Black is boring and in every car
