I have another meeting tomorrow morning. I asked a friend who didn’t like the way the black looks in the center of the backseat. I hadn’t been including it in my thinking. It does kind of look off. I need to incorporate the black better into the seat. I can’t do anything about that center rear seat. The concierge has an idea or two for me tomorrow.

To me the Phantom Blue interior is the most unusual/different and a little on the sporty side.

The Le Monstre 5BW and Petit Pataud 4BW had a very similar blue and black combo. I absolutely loved how that interior looked with the dark blue and black combo. Obviously the way you did it was different, but without the upper section being lighter like that then they are very similar.

Here are my builds and two color samples.

The blue seats look fantastic, but I think the exterior is too "purple-y". The interior and exterior don't go well together, to my eye.

I'd keep those blue seats but consider a different exterior color, something softer, more blue.

I'd also see how the blue calipers look with the overall package, if you do make such an exterior tweak. May be too much, but I'm not liking the gold wheels with gold calipers.


The third seat option, gray/brown, also looks a bit off to me. If you like brown in your seats, go with the second option in the PDF, more of a brown/tan combination.

Love the purple with bronze combo.

The second interior likely matches the exterior a bit more.

Either way, this is a win win. LOOKS AMAZING!

I’d go green metallic with the brown interior. It’s close to the adventure green with chuffle brown that Porsche uses.

I’m probably going with the green. I’ve always wanted a green car and this is a specific color that isn’t readily available. I’m meeting again with them tomorrow morning. I showed the images to a friend who pointed out the black in the center of the backseat looks off compared to the other seats. I don’t think I can change the black tho. I want to take another crack at the interior again.

If I was going all in I would want an actual REAL paint spay out.

I would disagree with your friend on the black in the back. Looks fine to me, and lines up with the center console. Then it looks like 4 individual seats instead of a bench across the back. Much more premium like that.

And the other thing to consider is the floor is also black which helps tie it together too. I’m curious what she will suggest.

After you mentioned it, I asked my wife (who did graphic design) about it. She agreed with the assessment. She compared the 2 different brown rear seats. In the first pic, the seats are brown with gray inserts and have a black bar separating them. In the second pic, the black on the right and left sides make it so the seats are black with brown/tan inserts. Basically, the black sides frame the seats so the black center now becomes part each seat instead of a just a separator. I hope that makes sense. Making the sides black might be the change you need to make to make it work with the black center console.
