I have Mamba Green. I went with black leather interior and added exterior color on interior (I forget the exact option name). I love the way it came out. I would have also added deviated stitching in green if it wasn’t so damn expensive.
Here's a short video so you can see what this looks like from the drivers seat...

The bronze accents with club leather just don’t go with mamba green. Black or black and chalk if you must, but brown or burgundy just do not go.
Brown doesn’t go with green?
Someone better tell the trees!🌲🌴🌳

The neodyne accents that come with olea club leather can be switched to dark silver at no cost if you choose.

Bronze accents? Are you talking about so called neodyme?
They are not bronze, they are closer to (light, not shiny) gold.

My short list for Mamba was Truffle, Blackberry (purple is the complimentary colour to green, I believe) and black/chalk beige.

All the other black/colour options are pretty well entirely black with coloured seat facings and flashes on doors and dash - too much black for my taste.

In the flesh Meranti brown is much paler than in the configurator, when I saw it in a car I assumed it must be Atacama being a tad darker than I expected but it was Meranti being nowhere near as dark as the configurator.

I chose Blackberry in the end and am delighted.

I would say you have two options:
1) Sporty look - black interior with green accent handles, like the video above
2) Classy look - truffle brown with neodyme or dark silver accents.

I have the truffle brown with neodyme accents in my mamba taycan and it looks incredible.

To be honest I was mainly determined not to have the ubiquitous black.

It is all but impossible to buy a car without a black interior here, so the multiple choices on non-black on the configurator was a luxury I was determined not to miss out on.

I quite liked black when it first became popular in the late 1960s but now find the boring ubiquity of it is same, same, same.

It is also a heat absorbing non-colour so a pretty lousy choice for an EV hoping for good range in a sunny climate.

That would be my choice in olea leather, so I ended with truffle.
Can you please upload some pictures?

Can’t find any pics from my own, but I posted few of them in the past.
Truffle is also very hard to make an accurate photo.
Google “porsche truffle brown interiror”… for instance, this one is little bit darker too:

While this one is wrong, too bright, too shiny: https://cdn.elferspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/PORSCHE-TAYCAN-TURBO-S-15.jpeg

All personal choice, and my vote is always to have one of either interior or exterior stand out, not both.

So I went MG external and on the internal went black/beige with no accents
