The newer BMW convertibles have an IR reflective dye in their leather and they don't get nearly as hot in the sun as they used to. I have absolutely no issues with my tobacco brown getting overly warm in direct sunlight with the top down even in middle of summer.

Oyster is pretty, but I'd be afraid of dirt and pollen stains from being exposed.

Personally, I really, really like mineral gray. If it were my I'd do the Mineral Gray / Terra, but color is a very personal and subjective decision.

Don't worry too much about the seats getting too hot.
