Any Thing But Black ... Help Me Decide

Red on red may be very hard to sell her on. I have many color swathes, I'll have a look thanks.

kiwighia68's comments on finding a complimentary color are dead on, IMO - you want to find something that will accent the exterior color in a subtle way.

CiderGuy, I know that you said that "Blue isn't speaking to me", but perhaps you should try listening a bit more carefully.
In your original post, you said "The one thing I am sure of is that the car will be painted a metallic silver, most likely with some silver and possibly some aero silver blue flake in the paint. Maybe both flakes. I've found a flake that is close to or reminds of aero silver."

A blue interior sounds like a natural to me, and would make the silver blue flake in the paint really pop.

I also like Darrel's suggestion of using a perforated version and a smooth version of the same color as an alternative to the traditional two-tone.
The red interior picture posted by Rome does something similar using smooth leather and suede.
If your heart is set on including a starkly contrasting color like white, then perhaps you could just use it in the form of piping on the seats and door panels.

If you're going non-stock, you could even consider getting a subtle contrast to the center panels by using diamond pattern stiching similar to this ...

... or these with contrasting thread used for the diamond stich:

If you're really set on doing a more traditional two-tone interior, perhaps you might consider using a grey (or maybe even a gray) instead of a white.
I found this post in the Idiot's Guide To Original Karmann Ghia Interiors thread which shows a couple of alternatives that were available in the lowlight era:

Kccoupe great reply. I am buying the interior from TMI, so I am somewhat limited. I am looking at red with grey or cream something with a contrast that still goes with the car color and salt & pepper carpet.

I've also noticed that I have color swathes of the same #06 grey that don't match. One would work with the red I'm looking at, while the other swath wouldn't.

They have a burgundy vinyl which would look pretty nice with the silver.

This is the color I am thinking about using to paint my convertible. Any ideas on the interior color ?

I have seen several Silver
Ghias with a brick red interior and they are Beautiful.

I bought the TMI upholstery for the car brick red and caulk white.
