Would love to see that combo in person. I love the cognac color but I can't figure out what it matches best to. I need to see the aluminum trims in person too. I feel like they're better in person because so many people like them.

Mocha nappa with the wood ash grain seems like a nice combo. I saw the combo on a YouTube video and would maybe be my next combo.
Right now I'm black nappa with fineline wood. Although glossy it has nice lines in it and looks modern/ classy.

Actually, I do think that black is a good color with the fine line ridge wood trim. Nice combo.

Ivory is probably the upholstery color that goes really well with every trim offered.

Before I bought my G31 I looked at a blue one with cognac & cubed aluminium which I really liked but the blue didn’t really do it for me so I didn’t buy it.
When I saw the sellers pictures of the beige G31 I didn’t think that I’d like the wood & if I did buy it I was sure I’d swap it for the cubed ally. However once I saw it in person I really liked the wood, imho it gives more of a ‘warm ambiance’ to the interior & I think goes better with the cognac. Mine has S4LG dark burled walnut & I like it very much…but I am kinda old
