Pepper White color question

Hi all, Been lurking for a couple of weeks and preparing to order a mini coupe very soon. I have no doubts that the exterior is to be pepper white, but I am considering a polar beige interior. What do you think? To much of a light color? I know the obvious contrast would be a black interior.

IMHO it would be too light for me. I have the black interior with Pepper White and it looks great.

I have the polar beige interior with pepper white along with black lounge leather seats and piano black trim and it delights me every time I get in the car. It makes it a real occasion, and I'm so pleased that I didn't order black interior.

Bought my 2007 used, so I did not have a color theme choice. At first, I was a bit hesitant (PW w/Black top, all black Piano interior with a few chrome edges and white trimmed black Lounge Leather seats), but quickly came around to its contrasts and simplicity. Pepper White offers a delightful fashion statement and is (now) my favorite body color. It makes the MINI seem almost translucent in comparison to nearby dull colored cars. On a cloudy day, it just has a special glow. It's as if someone left a light on inside the body. I find it difficult to imagine that you'll be disappointed with your choices.

Cheers...
