Stone vs Graphite on IP car
Tryng to decide if I should order the Stone or Graphite interior on my new Ivory Pearl 37. Live in So Florida and not sure if the Graphite might be too hot or if there is much difference. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Went with stone myself..
partially because I knew most people would probably pick graphite, and partially because the top of the interior is stone no matter what color you choose

Color is a personal choice, but I went with the Graphite. The heat is no worse in Florida than it is in South Louisiana, so you can throw out that argument.
The Graphite isn't black, but..... uh.. "graphite". There is a difference and it's subtle and classy.
Down side to Graphite - dust and sand show up, where it would be hidden in a Stone interior.
Down side to Stone - light color, especially the mats, which shows stains and long term wear more.
Having had both over the years (way more than I care to admit to!), I prefer Graphite. The washi trim stands out more too, as does the rosewood.
Again, the choice is yours and there is no wrong answer.

I love the stone seats but the headliner is similar to a wheat color (tan). Thus with the dash being graphite even with the stone seats and the headliner being tan, I didn't want the 3 tone look. I can deal with graphite/tan (2 tone). But if the headliner being tan is no big deal for you , I like the stone color better. the headliner is close enough to the stone color that most wont notice the difference unless they are looking closely.

If you mean the headliner, it is not Stone but closer to Wheat.

Thats why I put in black floormats. It sets off the black from the dash and center console and makes it look really nice. I dont like the stone floormats.
