For the inside helm, I would agree with you ...

Do you like tan or cream for the helm station?

No tan for me. Cream works in some cases ...

Grey or tan works for me. Ugly to look at, but easier on the eyes in the sun. Some serious dough on that helm, I think I would have laid it out a little nicer. That said, the arch shape does not work well with rectangular displays and gauges so it may be impossible to make it look good no matter what.

The only grey I am Ok with is quite dark, very near being black. Otherwise no thanks to grey.

I do not grey, but very light grey would be OK but not my first choice, and I agree that a real dark grey-black is classy.

Of course it's really easy to mutate a very light grey into an off-color. Which can be very attractive for trim purposes. Or just add a dash of metalflake, and you have a nice silver!

How about one of those Glastron/Carlsons that came in metalflake?

Very, VERY cool! I've also seen '80s Bajas with metalflake. Do I need to go into Bubba rehab?

Since color choice is to some degree a reflection of personality, always a very subjective topic ...
