She's partially right. To me, cognac works with all 'shades of grey', including black, white (nicest combo), silver, middle (bluestone) and dark (sophisto) grey.
It really does not work at all with anything with a blue undertone though (so bluestone probably needs a closer look, but in pictures I see no blue in it). Putting a cognac with med blue, carbon or imperial is really yuck, on a car. Just my 2 cents (and I know it's a popular combo and even BMW have shown cars like that).
If you want to go blue and avoid black leather, beige and the light beiges (oyster, elfen, etc.) is the way to go.
Another thing I don't get is combining cognac (brown undertone) with wood (another brown undertone but mismatched). The lack of contrast and half-way matching is something people seem to feel is luxurious, but I don't see it. To match cognac, again you need to go shades of grey (so aluminium or black/piano).
