best matched color with Silver or White??

What interior color is best for silver and white?
I'm buying SSM color but I can't decide interior color because only ebony and quartz are available for the silver. The sales person said "ebony looks better but it'll burn you on hot days" I really can't tell which one is better than the other. Quartz isn't that bad with silver exterior, I think.. Personally, parchment is best though!! what do you guys think?

what about with White exterior?

ebony will burn you in the summer and so will parchment or camel. its not like that leather stays a lot cooler. the ebony will get hotter but its not night and day difference.

I have ebony, and love it. But sometimes when i look at pics of quartz, it looks soothing.

I had frost interior (similar to Quartz) in my 04 Maxima and wished every day I had ebony. It's a bit cooler, but not worth the looks. Enjoy!

I myself have the WDP with parchment interior and can tell you that it definitely looks "richer" than any other colour and it won't show dust easily either as the ebony did on my '04 MDX.

I had frost in my 04 Maxima also...The only reason being that they couldn't get me the car with black. The frost showed too much dirt..especially the mats...IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean. I now have Ebony in my TL..AWESOME!!!

IMO the quartz doesn't offer enough contrast with the SSM exterior. I went with ebony and I'm glad I did. But get what you like. You're the one that has to live with it. If we all liked the same thing we wouldn't need choices.Enjoy the car.

get ebony, if you're worried about sun scorching up the leather (and you), then get some Huper Optik tint.

The quartz is too dark. They need to make it 2 shades lighter.

if you go WDP, you have to go quartz, you get fake carbon fiber and it is much easier to keep clean then the parchment....
