Great combo. There’s a blue/orchid I’ve seen in the neighborhood a few times and it’s always a head turner.

I really wanted the blue, though I would have preferred black interior. I have two young kids (3 and 5) and was happy to see the back seats were all leatherette. got the fabric/paint protection so hopefully that will help too.

i reserved ebony on mine because I have a kid (9) and a dog. But I do think the leatherette will hold up better than microsuede.

Only time will tell how bad the orchid will get, but between the protection plan and seat covers I feel pretty good. I also live in Florida, so lighter colors are always better!
Just my two cents here: I got the white simply because I've been so tired of choosing either black or black or black or maybe charcoal assuming there was even a choice. Kudos to Acura for at least breaking out of the mold as it were. I'm here in Florida too so, yes, the lighter color is always appreciated. I already invested in some suede/leather cleaner and protectant and that will help keep the interior looking fresh.

To Shadd01: A couple of subtle but cool features I've noticed are the soft lighting in the interior footwells and door handles at night. Have you tried the washers yet? No crazy spray all over the place. The washer fluid is applied directly to the glass from the center of each wiper so the traffic behind you doesn't get showered. The wiper nozzles spray and distribute the fluid efficiently so you use less of it. Something else I've noticed is that the wipers have a "park" position when you turn the car off. The clock display is pretty cool too.
Great combo
I was at the dealer and saw a White with Orchid 6MT on the lot, as well as a Black/Black. The Orchid is a bit creamy and the PWP is really bright, so the colors don't match. I liked the combo. Reminded me of some Volvos I've seen with White paint and Cream leather. I prefer my White with Red though.
