Default GS 350 F Sport 2014

Hello,
This is my first post so if i screw it up I apologize.
My question is: What is the best color combo for a 2014 gs 350 f sport. I have narrowed it down to Black with Cab or Flaxen and Ultra White with the same combo. Please help or feel free to make any suggestions.

Thank you all so much and I'm looking forward to being a member

I think black with Cabernet would look great, if you're willing to maintain the exterior. I hate seeing black cars with swirl marks everywhere. I also like ultra white with flaxen. Less maintanence for the exterior.

Consider the nebula pearl with cabernet. Not as difficult to keep clean as the black but a really slick match with the cab.

I also think the ultra white with either cab or flaxen would look great, although I have not seen these combinations in person.

I have a 14 with neb pearl and cab interior and just went through two days of nasty salted roadways in the Boston area and it doesn't look too bad. Hides a lot of the dirt, not as well as silver but much better than black or white.

I think it depends what look you're going for. To me white looks more luxurious while black looks sportier (exterior colors). That being said, I went with black/flaxen, and couldn't be happier. The contrast between the light and dark colors is perfect IMO. I have a friend who went with white (starfire pearl) and Cabernet interior, and he told me he got tired of the red interior after about 6 months. He's going to switch to either black or flaxen interior once his lease is up.

I have the ultra white with flaxen. I love this combo. The nice thing is you will not see very many of this color combo.

^ Hey I have ultra white too but with black interior. The ultra white is awesome. It puts other car's white to shame.

You can't screw it up, it's your car!

Majority will choose black with cabernet as would be my choice. I like that Flaxen is offered but it's not the color for me

Obsidian = second job. I know mine is, watching the ice melt and sand stick to the wet paint gives me the creeps already and it's only the first freeze we've had here.

If you really love washing your car (and hand washing with the 2 bucket method + grit guard is the best way to prevent swirls), get black. If you are somewhat lazy, pick grey. If you want people to expect a girl when the driver's side door opens, pick white.
