We had a similar experience. We have a friend who does pre-delivery detailing for our local Tesla sales center. When he heard that we were looking at the MS, he immediately said that in his opinion, brown was the most impressive color (especially in the light). I found that a bit hard to believe but when we saw it next to brown, red, green (which looked shockingly good IMO), and blue (which I also loved) we agreed and decided to do something a little different. I'm still pretty nervous about it, but I suppose it's better to be anxious about the color than the car!
