Default Sand Beige Interior- Your Thoughts

I'm looking at upgrading my '06 BoxterS - Seal Gray/ Black to a '10 BoxterS - Porsche Racing Green w/ Sand Beige. I really like the PRG exterior color, but the beige interior sure seems a bit bold compared to black. I've driven a loaner with the beige and there was a definite reflection on the wind screen. Almost a goldish glare the best I remember. I'm going to drive the car this week to see if I get the same feeling. Otherwise, the car is exactly what I want.
Can anyone with Sand Beige tell me if this is an issue with them? Is it something you have to get used to? I'm really curious what those with this interior think of it after a few years.
Thanks in advance.

I've had two Caymans one Guards Red and one Midnight Blue with Sand Beige interiors and have no issues with reflections. I do think the painted plastic parts are more easily marred.

The bigger issue with Sand Beige leather is dye transfer from your clothing; lether belts, leather jackets, and blue jeans.

When I was shopping I saw a number of red, black, white, etc. cars w/ Sand Beige but to me I want black or red w/ those. Then I saw my Midnight Blue w/ Sand Beige and I loved it.

Yes, the dash and vents reflect on the windshield and it is annoying when I focus on it but I usually forget and don't notice for awhile. I wish the upper dash was black for that reason.

I have had a few Porsches and other cars with the beige interior and found that I became tired of it, although gray or black interiors were more satifying to me. I did have white in a 944, which took a liitle bit more TLC, but I didn't get tired of it. Just my two cents.
