1st world problemo...... Thinking of Bordeaux/Black interior. Accent?

Not sure on accent colour (Neo or DarkS), because the colour rendering of Bordeaux on config and in web-pics tends to be oversaturated .... will try to see in OPC but opportunities few and far between.

For most black-brown-blue-beige interiors I like the Neo bling - highlights very nicely - the grey/black of darksilver is a bit Meh....

but not sure if Neo's tending towards the orange-ish side of the spectrum clashes with the Bordeaux?

Anyone got a bordeaux-neo combo? - happy?
.... anyone went for darksilver to a avoid clash?

Thoughts appreciated - thanks.

I got the dark silver and very happy I did - looks really good and just the right amount of 'elevation' of the interior finish imo. If I get another moment I can dig out some pics. If your more into a statement I guess Neo might be more to your style and you are correct in respect the Dark Silver not 'jumping' out :)!

Neither. Stay with stock
I considered all the interior trim options (including accents in exterior colour and rhombus aluminium panels) with the Red/Black and concluded they all made it look too busy (especially as my FB exterior paintwork is prominent from inside)- admittedly mostly as renders. Also thought that the standard silver alum sills didn't suit.

Here is a old pic but unfortunately not optimized to show off the accents - I just zoomed a pic that was focused on the leather (don't have the car as in the custom shop) - shows the contrast but really not a proper representation, a go by:

I've seen stock and DS close up and most def prefer the DS.

Another (these sub-par pics are not really helping my case :)!!

Thanks C - that is very much appreciated - the confuserator does not do it justice.

I specced the Neodyme trim with Bordeaux red because it fits the Porsche crest color scheme, saw the Neodyme in person and it’s much less saturated than in the configurator and I chose it. It really depends on the person but you can’t go wrong with either.

Thanks Z. Looks like seeing in the flesh is the only way to choose.

Many thanks folks! - Great Forum.
