Default Which color combo you prefer?

Sorry guys, i know it is an old topic. but i just need your taste. so please feel free tell me what you think. I will finalize my deal tomorrow with dealer.

I am in Houston. so black interior is not working for me. a few options here (if you were me, which one is your cup of tea?)

black/parchment
golden/parchment
starfire pearl/parchment
caret mica/saddle
caret mica/parchment

Claret Mica/Parchment is what I'd have if I didn't have my Nebula Grey/Parchment, with Starfire Pearl the 2nd choice. ;-)

You need our taste?
You have no taste of your own?
What are you afraid of? Man up and get a black one.
Or, if you really don't know what color car you want, just get silver.
Jeeez.

red/saddle
white/parchment

so i would rather go for saddle with that.

however, just feel starfire pearl with parchment looks nice as well

Being as you are in Houston, if you have your windows tinted, red/saddle or red parchment would look much better than on the star fire pearl. Especially if you use your states maximum tint %.

The red now being put on the RX is a very nice color indeed, and the light tan (parchment?) is surely what you want with that. The "saddle" has too much red and yellow in it to not clash with the dark red.

I second that! If you want to stand out among the RX crowd, Claret Mica/Saddle Tan is the least common and therefore the way to go. My take on standing out was getting the F-Sport!

Another quick note on the Claret Mica is it's a 3-in-1 color. Depending on lighting and angle, you see some strawberry metallic red, some deep metallic wine purplish red, and some metallic brown. Keeps things always interesting.
