Confusing Colors??

I have recently requested an Ininiti G35 Coupe with various options. Dealer called today and said it will be here by the end of march to first week of april) The colors have me a little confused. In a panic to get one ordered and not having the benifit of seeing one, I ordered the black with willow interior. I can't really picture that combination. Could someone give me an idea of how they contrast and does it look good to go?

Re: Confusing Colors??

I have the Diamond Graphite w/ willow leather. The willow's a light color, which I like cuz it makes the interior feel very spacious. I had black interior in a diff car previously, and the willow was a nice change. With the black it'll definatly be a contrast, which I think would look good, but it'll be a personal taste thing. Maybe someone can post pics.

I have black and willow combination. It looks great. In fact, it was my first preference. However, you will have to maintain it a bit, i.e. both colors seem to get dirty faster but if you take care of it, there is nothing better.

>>I have the Diamond Graphite w/ willow leather.<<

Hmm, interesting combination. I was thinking of that because I like both of those colors, but I was concerned it would look weird like the colors would clash or something. Willow is a beige and it seems like it wouldn't go with a grey color. Isn't black a natural color to go with grey?

How does it look though? Got any pics?

Re: Confusing Colors??

Does the willow color have a pattern to it? I thought it was just a plain beige color.

Willow does not have a pattern to it. The leather does have little holes to allow it to breathe. The pattern you were seeing was due to resizing of the image when i uploaded it. I changed the image. Check it now, it looks much better.
