I am preparing an order of 2019 GT Convertable and I am still not 100% sure on the exterior color. I am sure about the rest of the build, which is more important :)

Anyway, I'll be getting Leather-trimmed Showstopper Red Seats (not negotiable) and the only color I can think of is "Magnetic" but I still not 100% sure.

My logic:
Race Red: this would be my choice #2, but with the black roof I think Magnetic looks more sophisticated (another way to say that I am too old for red on red :)).
black: I have black BMW and black Mustang just doesn't click for me
Ruby Red: the color of my kid's mustang, don't want two of the same color
Kona Blue: love the color, but doesn't look good with red seats
White, Silver, Lightning Blue: I simply don't like them

I know it is not the most important question, but would love to hear comments :)

Blue with a red interior looks good on a Corvette Grand Sport. Might work on a Mustang.

Why is Silver dead on arrival? Silver over Red interior, in my humble opinion, is one of the most classic, and sophisticated combinations ever. Just sayin.

Silver over Red, with performance package 2 rims. Oh, if that were only an option. Maybe the vert's will have access to that package in 19.

I had a 2011 GT with Red Seats and Sterling Gray Metallic.

Looked awesome.

If you're doing a red interior, then go with a neutral exterior color: black, white, silver, gray - it's classic, it compliments vs. clashing, it doesn't overdo things, and you get a great contrast of color that will let the interior pop, and you can always add some red highlights to the exterior (like red calipers).

thanks everyone.

I'll keep metallic color :) If it would be a coupe or I could get the roof in other colors then black, I may look into silver or red, but with black roof (and black wheels)...

Race Red with Showstopper Red looks shockingly amazing. Got to see one (a fastback) with that color combo in person a few weeks ago. Completely sold me on the combination for my upcoming 2019 order. The fact that the seats are two toned with black makes it damn near perfect - it’s like the exterior is simply bleeding into the interior.

Completly agree with you on the fastback, no questions. But do you think Race Red looks good with a black convertible roof when the roof is up? (Plus Race Red with a roll bar should be a police magnet :) )
