Depends on the number of wraps you are selling.

As simon645 says, Baltic Blue with Almond leather, and I have the darker brown dashboard top or what ever it is. Works really well. I had thought about grey and black interior but just too gloomy.
Only thing I do not like about my colour combination is the boot covering is also light whereas on my D3 I had beige cloth save in teh boot - black. Way more practical.

only a rumour though may the odds be ever in your favor

My thoughts too.
I would have had a light interior on the D4 if the boot was still trimmed in black. A few years down the line and the lighter trimmed boots can look pretty shabby. After 8 years my black D3 boot looked brand new. When the MY13 scheme included light grey seats with black trim I did think hard about it as it would have given a little more airiness. When I saw that the leather was more white than grey I gave up as I could see them being stained by jeans after a while.
chopcat - I think the 2013 schemes are well known as they were announced at the end of last year and many of us are now driving MY13 cars.

I have black with black pack and black interior.
I love it (unusual for me I like the black interior over beiges etc)
BUT
It totally depends on you and you're personality. I don't think my colour is actually BETTER than blue BUT it suits me more for what I want the car to look like, and colours change the way these cars sit massively.
I went black on black on black as I think it's of the moment, looks menacing and most importantly for me looks more youthful.
(some people will think footballers wives / dodgy Russian etc etc BUT others absolutely love it)
NON black pack blacks tend to be just a straight forward good looking car
Blues with light interiors are classy and (don't shoot me on this) more middle aged luxury do everything cars.
I will say santorini has such a lovely speckle in it that there are very few blacks that I've seen on any car that look so striking.
Black on a d4 hides all the shut lines and with privacy windows masks in with b pillars etc, this makes the car look totally different to say white as this wil accentuate all the structural elements of the d4 etc etc
What I am trying to say through all this is there is no BEST colour Just different ones that suit different types/wants of people.
saying that every time I notice a chip, mark or water spot I wish mine was white

i have ordered a santorini black HSE with ebony interior with cosmic grey detailing and of course privacy glass ,landmark 20 inch alloys!

bit late to the party
I have black with ivory inside....
blue looks classier IMHO but dealers have a Henry Ford attitude here.
ivory interior....looking more like elephant skin than tusks day by day.....but looked great new....(and may look good if someone cleaned it.)
Alas, too late was the cry......It is better to have and not need it then need and not have it.

I loved my Santorini D4 but had to clean it about 3 times a week! The Baltic blue was IMHO of course, the nicer colour combo. Both cars had the light interior. I also agree with others that the boot could be more practical trimmed in black. Alis FL2 has this and it looks fine. Not sure this has helped any though - Good luck to the OP with the choices!

Large Alsation called Abbs
Medium blue Staffie called Piglet
Medium Alsation called Bailey
local dealer had HSE Lux in santorini black with almond interior in showroom
the seats were already discoloured from customers sitting in it
too much hassle trying to clean a leather interior rather than a quick wash of the paint work
dark interior is defo much easier to live with !!!!!!!! (imho)
