yeah, it largely depends on the shade of red, for example the GM trucks from the 90's that had maroon interiors are just hideous regardless of what color the outside is.

The only car Ive ever seen this combo work on is the 96 GS Corvettes, jmo. That whole theme just worked on that particular car. Should you go this way though, select a higher grade of leather that has a nice matte finish and is not to terribly bright. The bright red leather that has a shiny finish, while tacky in everything, would be especially tacky in a blue car.
