My last car had midnite over graphite....never again. Stone is a little darker, but not enough. I went with sea blue which is very dark, almost ink.

I am going against the grain here, but I have come to like the light grey interiors. Looks like a great combination to me.

My first 911 was a black coupe with a grey interior. It looked OK but I couldn't keep it clean. (Even though I'm a Porschephile and keep a very neat car) My interior is now sea blue and it looks great!

I saw a stone interior yesterday, actually much darker than my old graphite in person, looked good.

A friend of mine has the same combo and he tinted his windows and it looked better but not good enough… two weeks later he came to my home when I was washing my car and couldn’t see a thing inside the car… he went back to the tint guy and tinted his front windshield… I’m personally not to crazy about tinting the front windshield but, I must be honest… it looked great later on when we went around the block because I was concerned about how dark it could be at night and it truly wasn’t that bad. During daylight, the light stone grey color was much, much easier on your eyes… To the point where I’m considering doing the same thing and my C4 (GT silver with black interiors…)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

I went from Seal Grey/black to Midnight/Sand Beige. I MUCH prefer the Sand Beige. With the black interior, I felt like I spent the few minutes at every stoplight dusting my CONSTANTLY dusty interior. With the sand beige I'm down to once a week! And no real issue with windshield reflections as I initially worried. I think you will find the grey quite livable.

She's a beaut. I think the light interior looks good with exterior colored interior components. Grats on your new ride.

Stone is better than gray-man I really hate gray. It always looks cheap to me.
