How about crimson and Terra?

968PORSCHE · 04-08-2008, 03:57 PM

Any thoughts on this? Better yet any pictures? I've looked but cant find any. Crimson with terra or saddle?

Personally, I see brown as the "natural" color for leather, so it goes with everything. With crimson, I think it'd be extremely classy with one of the wood trims.

I agree with 128er. Not a great combo

All I can think is of how awesome the pics someone posted of a Crimson 135i with black leather, black wheels, and a black grille looked. It looked MEAN! :headbang:

That said, I think Crimson would look ok with Terra but I think black is the much better choice.

Just my opinion but I wouldn't mix red and brown. I don't know if this is the right phrasing for this but they kinda look too similar and there wouldn't be enough contrast. If you are set on Crimson red on the outside, I would go with black on the inside. But once again that's just my opnion. (Personally, terra interior is my favorite, but I just don't think it goes well with most of the colors).

I was wondering the same thing. I really love the terra but I'm not sure how it would look with the crimson. I'm not a big fan of black interiors so I want to avoid black at all costs. I wonder how the beige would look?

Of course it'll be nice!!!

I don't know...I've seen Imola Red and Natural Brown on an E46 and it looks pretty good. I'll see if I can dig up a pic.

EDIT: I missed the bottom half of the above post. I'm so quick to defend my preferred color combo, haha.

stovesax08 · 04-08-2008, 11:17 PM

i think it would look great. terra is a darkish brown and crimson is bright red, enough contrast to not clash too much but also you get two very different colors. good combo imo

rdkind62 · 04-09-2008, 03:50 AM

I don't think it is going to look all that great. I'm with the crowd that says black interior.

968PORSCHE · 04-09-2008, 12:58 PM

Black is classic, but I hate to loose the 2 tone effect. Terra or saddle is my prefered option. Is there also a color Terracotta or is that the same as Terra?

So, no pics of Crimson with Terra? How about with Saddle?

Terra and Terracotta are the same colors on the 1. I'm not aware of Saddle being available on them at all. Terra is the only brown color you can get.
