I park mine outside, so other than silver, stays looking clean longer than most other colors, so that is one reason I have white. If that was not a factory, it would have been smokey granite or black sapphire.
The Alabaster interior in my car is beautiful. I specifically wanted a car with this interior. I had Ecru in our SC430 and loved it as well.
The Ash trim is VERY nice. It works well with the light colored interior.

Default Alabaster and Dark Brown Ash Burl wood trim.

Are there any good pictures of that trim anywhere? I check by the dealer regularly but have still never seen it. The brochure gives a small sample but that's all.

Just to make it clear. What I am looking for are good quality pictures of the interior with Alabaster and Dark Brown Ash Burl wood trim.

Try the following link for photos. A lot of the original publicity photos like these showed the Alabaster interior.

The following link will get you to the European LS site where you can see some good interior video. Alabaster is Mellow White in Europe.

This picture does NOT have the Dark Brown Ash Burl wood, but it is showing the grey wood instead. It is a picture of the wood that I'm looking for.

Apparently, based on the images from this site, both Cashmere and Alabaster (= Mellow White) in Europe use the exact same wood, and it is not the wood from the U.S. cars which have Alabaster leather.

These pictures (page 5 of 7) show Alabaster with dark brown wood. Looks exactly like my Alabaster interior . Does not look grey on my monitor.

Yes, a little tricky, but it is accurate. It is an off white. The wood is a very dark brown. I would call it Chocolate brown.
It is a very nice contrast.
