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).

I am not the best in aesthetics the reason for having my wife with me or else I would not hear the end of it. I have piano black in my current F10 and find it difficult to justify extra £560.00 for it. Anyway I have been in a G30 with cognac interior and Aluminium Rhombicle and I am quite impressed with the combination
