Loved the rich, deep, dark Ebony, but it wears out and gets boring too quickly. Lots of dust. Since the TL's Ebony doesn't offer wood, all you see is a sea of black (dash top, dash controls, headliner, sills, plastic seatwell trim, and carbon fiber) with these funky aluminum strips jumping out.
Loved the easy-clean and simple approach of Quartz, but no one thinks my car has leather let alone is a 'luxury' car. Looks cheap, big regrets. Grey is gloomy, even on the sunniest day.
Love the uniqueness of Camel, and feel that in the TL especially, it's the best of the bunch.
Clear?

They can choose you, a guy who's owned 1 Honda product, and hear "woo hoo, my choice rules!" or they can choose me, a guy who's owned 10 Honda products, and hear "I've owned every interior combo that the TL is currently available in....here's my first-hand impressions after living in them for the last 15 years of my life."
It's their call as to whether to take heed of what is written, not yours or mine.

I would argure depends on the exterior.
I got Anthracite. Only interior I felt matched was Ebony.
-------------------------------
If I had gotten:
SSM -Ebony
RRP or ABP - Camel
DGP - Camel, though Parchment isn't bad
WDP - Parchment
NBP - Camel or Ebony
DMM - Parchment

I love the ebony - I just personally think it looks great and I have not had one regret. I thought the quartz looked cheap. I did, however like the camel and even the parchment but didn't like the wood trim as much as I liked the aluminum trim. Camel/parchment interiors also reminded me of the Lexus interiors too much...I didnt want a boring old Lexus - I wanted an exciting Acura TL so for me the ebony was the only choice.
But, that's why they offer different interiors - everybody likes something different. If they offered a lime green interior you can bet somebody would order it. Besides, you can't make everyone happy all of the time....but you sure can piss them all off at once.

GET WHAT YOU LIKE GUYS!!!......why listen to BJ??? Anyone with the initials "BJ" begs to be ignored. It's what you like, not what he says is correct. There is no "science" to color choice, it's a matter of personal choice.

I personally like Parchment, I've always preferred that color for learther. Camel is just too orange for me. But to each there own. That would suck if everyone liked and bought the same color car with the same color interior

When I get mien in Feb. I'm probably going to go with silver exterior, quartz interior. One thing about my 2001 TL (silver) was that I had to take the black interior which gets quite hot in the Florida sun!
