Going to be placing an order for a 440i GC in EBII with fineline anthracite wood trim, but I can't decide on which Merino extended leather would go better with it:

1. Golden Brown
2. Nutmeg
3. Amaro
4. Cohiba

Amaro and Cohiba are both special order, though, which is an additional $1250 and 2-4 weeks delay

Tried looking at pictures to compare but depending on lighting it's tough to get a good side-by-side comparison (made tougher by the fact that I'm color-blind for browns). Thoughts?

Golden Brown is stunning, it is a bit darker than tan, but doesn't look old man brown. I very nearly ordered a 4GC with it!

Here's a pic of it next to my tan shoe:

Amaro!!!!!!!!!!

My sense with golden brown is that the color is a little bit too bright.. I'm leaning towards amaro at the moment because it seems to be a slightly more "muted" color. Thoughts?

The 'orange' leathers like Amaro and Golden are a little too much on a bright blue EBII car, IMHO. I voted Nutmeg, but on second thought it looks dark green in most photos.

Cohiba is just classy espresso brown. That's my vote, if I could change it.

Initially, that's what it came down to for me as well, either Amaro or Cohiba. Both of them change colors so much in different lighting conditions and don't photograph well. In some cases, Amaro looks amazing, in others, Cohiba does.

None of the above? Personally I think EBII works best with either red, ivory, oyster, black or if they have a light grey.

Golden brown looks like the skin of someone who used way too much spray on tan
