GS-R interiors

I've been looking at 98+ GS-R's on ebay, autotrader, and such and have noticed that pretty much every single car has a BLACK leather interior. There's a screenshot on edmunds.com where it shows a beige interior, which is much better for the California sun. Was the beige interior an option, standard on certain colors, an option on certain colors, or something else entirely?

beige interior...as in cloth beige?

I have Beige leather in mine. 1998 GSR, Dark Green.

beige interior as in exactly what pepsihatman has on the inside of his car.

p.s. that photo makes it look blue
