Default Birch vs Stratus Gray?

Ordered a 2020 today with "Birch" interior which to me looked basically the same as the "Stratus Gray" interior. Anyone in the know see any difference or understand why they rebranded it?

Good thing is they got rid of the tacky gray and black combination. The black side trim looked really weird of stratus gray.

I don't think it is? I test drove a base White 2020 with the Birch interior and it didn't have the black side panels. Just the black on the back of the seat.

I have Nebula gray pearl with stratus gray leather and I personally like the dark charcoal gray side panels. It breaks up all the light gray. Plus I believe that wear there would be scuff and wear marks if left the light gray there.

Birch top pic stratus gray bottom. As you stated very close with birch maybe a slighter more grayish tint.
