Default Acorn / Lunar Pics?

Does anyone have any pics that highlight the lunar color (preferably leather, but I'd appreciate anything) that comes with the acorn interior? I'm trying to get a good look at how dark grey it is, and how it looks next to the darker black elements in the car. Of course, it is always nice to see more acorn too!

Here are a few pictures I took/dug up with various lighting levels on our Acorn/Lunar 21HSE. I would say that if anything, the grey looks a bit darker in the pics than it does in person (at least on my screen). We asked for the black interior, but someone bought it out from under us. We "settled" with the Acorn, and we're so happy with the decision. It brightens up the interior a bit, looks more interesting, and the leather doesn't stain like I was worried it would (we have two young kids, and we do not baby the interior). Anyway, hope this helps: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Tt8dooGG23spJdzu6

Thanks for this! Can you point out which surfaces in the car are lunar? Or at least which is the best the see the color?

Hard to say with 100% certainty what materials are "officially" lunar, but I would think most/all of the grey you see is lunar. Check out the Robustec material on the seats and the center console (I think that's an X-Dynamic thing to have the two-material seats?), the leather headrests, the grey on the door panel... I also just threw three more photos up there that show the seat leather in better light/detail.

(caveat: my wife thinks my ability to sense small color effects is terrible) I feel like I sometimes catch a hint of blue depending on the light. More so in the Robustec than the leather.

Apparently adding photos to this shared set is not a thing. Here you go: https://photos.app.goo.gl/M9LcdHYYtT3VQyAS7

That helps a lot, thanks! I'm deciding Light Oyster w/ Lunar vs Vintage Tan w/Ebony for my order. I believe the grab handles console trim finishes are also Lunar (if ordered without wood veneer) because my old 90 had Ebony handles and trim, which appeared darker, and black.

Also, you look a little too short to be driving, that seat go up any more?

Good point! @racerpeter , do you have seat heaters? Does the heat get through the diaper alright?
